This is my 2009 ABZ passive in Seafoam green

yes that looks more green in that video.

Looks more Daphne Blue than Seafoam... but very nice nonetheless

because I have tried it and it sounds very boring, almost lifeless compared to a Dingwall and it's a shame cause I've got a Strandberg guitar which is awesome instead

Not too long ago, I mentioned that it would be interesting to have a headless D-Roc or just any headless fan fretted bass other than Strandberg Prog bass and Alusonic in Italy has the answer http://www.alusonic.com/hybrid-bass-the-doom.php

I am selling this Dingwall Strap, if interested message me. p.s. Free postage to UK buyers only, anyone else out of UK will pay for postage too. Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed

As in, what story are you expecting to hear? I was bored with the white look so I had a friend print me some cow spots to match the body shape, then painted the pick up covers in pink and tried those DR Pink strings that lasted very little before they started to peel and sound dead. The bass now...

The best thing about my ABZ 5 and D-Roc Custom is that they are both passive, so there's no preamp to fight and I have amps and pedals to dial in my favorite tones Invalid Link Removed

Who is in favour of a headless Dingwall like the Strandberg Boden below?

A very slight dremel shaving was needed on the base of the pickup on the pressed board, not affecting the windings, but as I said half a mil each side and it fitted fine. You could do it with a nail file even.

Ovangkol all the way! I have it on my Droc custom and it's sublime, both in feel and resonance. Invalid Link Removed

Ok if you have a luthier that you can trust, have him take a look and give you his honest opinion

If it is truly and badly warped it will be an expensive fix, a qualified luthier would need to de-glue and remove the fingerboard, and level the neck with heat pads under special heating clamps, rarely they'll have to sand the excess warping but sometimes the heating clamps can fix a warped...
