Ha. See my post just before yours.

Selling it is the amount of effort I'm currently willing to put into it.

Do you have any photos of your tigerburst? My first dingy was an AB2 tiger burst arbutus burl top

I've decided to post the new to me ABZ for sale. It sounds great, but I don't think it's for me. I prefer the newer Dingwall necks.

Can you return it as sent without full disclosure?

That was a looker for sure! I like the tiger finish

They put in there that it was refinished. I don't particularly want to ship something to the UK.

On another topic - have anyone heard of an "Afterburner 1 Elite" model? Someone is selling an AB1, and in the comments thread, another person said it's an "ABI Elite". I've never heard of that model before, and a couple searches isn't turning anything up.

I think Ed Roman's shop in Las Vegas had some exclusive quilted top Afterburners. It is possible that they could have been called Elites.

Also possible that Ed Roman would make something like that up and pretend it was official.

This is the first I've ever heard of "Elite".

Never heard of of this. I'm thinking it is 'elite' in the seller's mind...

Well, I do remember seeing the pictures on the website and I think a buddy of mine had one briefly.

Ah, the quilted top made it 'elite'. I think all Dingwalls are elite.

Thanks for that. I wonder how definitive of a title that was. A given title by Ed Roman or an actually title by dingwall?

I think this over priced one here would be a good example?

That's a beautiful bass, but yikes!

I never cared much for green finishes, but I've seen some cool ones lately.

I have a vague memory of them being an actual special run or exclusive line, so only the quilt tops available through them, and not just some made up nonsense by Ed roman. I think most of the others around that time were flame tops.

That said, I don't remember where I read that, maybe on the Dingwall forum or on here way back?

I assume the bass is a early ng 2 prototype. Dual pickup but combustion spacing. Laminated pick guard, but painted matching headstock.

or is dingwall expanding into the combustion feature set? I do prefer the solid colours of the ng over the combustion bursts.

I didn't watch the video (can't right now), but, from the preview image it just looks like a early normal Combustion to me (which is what Nolly played before cooking up the NG series).

I got to solo the middle pickup on the new AB through the Reeves/MAS rig last Sunday. Beauty. The Glock sounds perfect 'flat'. I may eventually have to install a six-way pickup selector switch, though - I'm very curious to hear the neck and bridge pickups in series.

its what I’m running right now to my surprise out of my 6 way switch options. It’s bad. Really bad.
