Details

Just purchased this bass from a fellow TB'er two weeks ago, who purchased it brand new from Bass Central in February; it's a truly phenomenal bass, but after comparing it to my Super PJ I realized that I just prefer the feel of the Super series, so I'm listing it for sale before I have the chance to blemish it, as it's in truly mint showroom condition.

Afterburner Z Series 5 Trans Black Swamp Ash Body, 24 Frets, Maple Neck with Novax Fanned Frets, Maple Fingerboard

Master Volume, Rotary Pickup Selector, Master Tone, Dingwall Logo Gigbag.SN# 4979 7.5 LBS

This bass has excellent balance and feels great under your fingers. The volume pot was upgraded to a push/pull pot to provide series/parallel switching for the neck pickup. The passive tone control is the most musical I've heard. It sculpts the highs without sucking the life out of it. The rotary pickup selector provides solo bridge, neck and bridge parallel, neck and bridge series, and solo neck. These lineups along with the tone control and series/parallel neck switch give a wide pallette of tones to work with. The bass came with steel rounds which have a more piano like tone, but I will include a previously installed (but still brand new) set of Dingwall nickels as well the custom, heavy duty Dingwall gig bag and tool kit.

$2050 shipped/$1950 local

Thanks for the offer, but Dingwalls and Spectors are all I play these days ;)

I believe you are referring to the recessed third strap pin.

Exactly; it allows the bass to stay in the exact same position standing as it is seated, bringing the nut closer to your body and eliminating the long reach to the first few positions on the bottom strings.

Typical Sheldon, a totally ingenious innovation.

Sweet ABZ BTW. Would love to take it off your hands. Alas, a bit tight on cash at the moment. Plus, as an owner of 3 Dingwalls already, I shouldn't even be looking at this thread!! LOL!

I know how what you mean, my Super J should be arriving in a week or two but I couldn't help trying out this bass...had it been a Super PJ 5 string, I doubt this ad would be up at all ;)
