Please contact us for deposit information.  

The Dingwall Afterburner 1 "AB1" boasts an intelligent design, flexible electronic upgrade options, and a true Dingwall tone.  The standard alder body and solid bolt-on neck joint paired with Dingwall's tried and tested pickups make for a well rounded versatile bass!

Body & Neck:

The Afterburner I shares the same styling and solid construction as the ABZ, which makes for a nicely balanced and maneuverable instrument that’s immediately playable. The alder body is paired with a five-piece maple neck, and wenge fingerboard. The headstock features unique counter bores that, combined with our custom Hipshot Ultralite tuning machines, allow for a proper break angle at the nut.

Pickups and Electronics:

The Afterburner series comes standard with FDV pickups for a well rounded range of bass tones.  These passive pickups are wired to a Dingwall 4-Position Quad-Tone pickup selector.  Active Preamps and Toggle Switches are available to bring out the most of your custom Afterburner build.

Hardware:

The Dingwall Fanned-Fret system was designed by Ralph Novak to facilitate the most appropriate scale length for each individual string.  It's a pioneering concept that is applied across the entire Dingwall bass lineup!  The rest of the hardware includes a set of custom Hipshot Ultralight machine heads, a Neutrik locking jack socket and Dingwalls Afterburner bridge which centers around a unique brass plate system that holds the saddles securely in place.
