FYI - I think Dillions are great, but they haven't been made in Korea for several years.
Since 2014, Dillion Guitars (Dillion USA) have been exclusively manufactured in Vietnam by Inyen Vina Co., LTD located in Hochimenh City, Vietnam. Dillion Guitars is managed by Second Income Consultants (S.I.C.) and is owned by Andrea and John Vinci (aka John Dillion) of Cary, NC USA. I'm not sure why they continue to market as hand made in South Korea.

Glad you bought it. I was looking at one of these for the longest time!

How does it play? I own the Dillion DB-534-004 Semi-Hollow body and enjoy playing it. @GretschWretch is a fan too.
It plays great. I bought it online so without trying it at all. No biggie really. I have been looking at Squire jazz basses just because I dont have a jazz at all. Anyway,I'm so glad I took a chance. I wouldnt take 2 Squiers for this. Even the intonation was close. Plays like a dream. I havent played my other basses since it got here. Not that I'm going to sell my Spector or my other basses but its fun to play,sounds great (and I'm pretty sure those are Wilkonson pickups in there) and quality is better than expected. People tend to hype up new purchases but not me. I will admit my mistake and sell something I hate (Epi Les Paul Special my most recent mistake) I am a fan now and it sucks because production is at a stand still on complete instruments from the looks of it. That model you have is a gem. Beautiful semi-hollow and I bet it sounds sweet.
Hi all, sorry to revive an old thread but I have an opportunity to buy the one with the white background for £139, it's called Avalanche by Dillion, the other pictures are from a different listing on Reverb, I just attached them for the close ups. I haven't seen it before and the only information online about Dillion basses are the ones in these thread. The pawnshop that has it for sale only have the white picture but no extra information, but the reverb listing says it was made in China (I'm not sure if that's accurate or not). I just like the pickup configuration as it's similar to my Jackson C5MJ, I want another one of those but they're ultra rare in the UK so if I get this one I'll probably mod it.
Is this one of the good ones? Has anyone tried one of these and how's the build quality.
Thanks

For that price I would have jumped on it by now. Well made in Korea. They are no longer making instruments and only selling parts. I own two semi-hollow body ES-335 style basses from Dillion. One LS and one SS. Awesome, but they are heavy. @GretschWretch owns two as well. Underrated and not well known.
Ask the seller for a picture of the back of the headstock.
