I thought I had my fridge tucked in between the leather working station and the living room but it appears I only ever stacked this unit with the bottom drawer freezer back there.

Wow, I owned an early ABII in early 2010 I think. The same ‘plain’ bubinga top with mahogany body and bubinga neck. I just went to check my old pics, and although I didn’t have a pic of the serial number, I believe it was your old bass! I’ll attach a few pics here, it’s hard to determine due to the plain top but they seem to have the same darker strips running up alongside the bridge, and same dark figure ‘smudge’ under the logo on the headstock.
The bad news is I don’t have any record of who I sold it to sometime midway 2010 :( also in Australia double :( :(
If it’s the same bass, you’re right in wanting it back so badly, it’s one of only 2 basses I’ve sold that I really regret letting go...

Different knobs, though I suppose someone could have changed along the way. I'm sure he wouldn't mind the lead even if it is in Australia...

But it has a different pickup arrangement and wider pickups... So many variations... :woot:

Different vintages of basses--the shells have changed sizes over time. Different innards can be ordered as options in the current form factor (the wider version). The MM with separated neck pickup layout was the standard three-pickup arrangement a number of years ago; now it's all three pickups together.

As I am working on my Dingwall identification skills... Z2 on the left, Z3 on the right, and they seem to have the older, slightly narrower pickups... Are those Barts?
And in the middle... Hmm. Previous poster said Z6, never heard of that and it doesn't show up on the Dingwall website... ???

As mentioned,

the one hanging on the mirror is a Super Jazz

the floor is a Z3 6 string

and the one on the amp is a Z3 5 string with Super fatty pick ups in it.
There was a period of time where this was the common layout and spec for a Z3 model.
Only a couple of years ago now (2018?)dingwall conformed all pick up options to the same fatter round shells.

Now the super fatty 2s( to replace the skinnier first version) are available but in the same shells as the FD3s and FDVs.

My God that super jazz in the mirror is gorgeous. If you get a chance to hit it with a photo opp I'm sure many of us would be more than grateful!
