Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: A few minor dents were filled, color-matched and refinished. The fingerboard was repaired. 

Handcrafted in Saskatoon, Canada, the Dingwall Afterburner 4-string bass showcases modern multi-scale innovation paired with boutique tonewood construction. Featuring a resonant alder body topped with flame maple and finished in Trans Black Burst, it delivers punchy low-end response, crisp note articulation, and lightweight playing comfort at 7 lbs 14 oz. Its ultra-stable 5-piece maple neck and wenge fingerboard leverage Dingwall's fanned-fret design to ensure even string tension, precise intonation, and powerful clarity across every register. Configured completely passive without an active preamp, its custom FD-3 neodymium pickups produce a rich, organic, dynamic tone with broad mid-range punch and immediate touch sensitivity. It comes complete with a custom hardshell case for maximum protection.
