With the Dingwall NG3 Nolly Signature 4-String Laguna Seca Blue, the Canadian bass manufacturer Adam "Nolly" Getgood, the charismatic bassist and producer of the djent metal pioneers Periphery, tailors a 4-string E-bass in trendy multiscale construction, which convinces with clean articulation even at lower tunings. In addition to the alder body, Dingwall relies here on an extremely agile "Medium Thin C" neck made of maple, while FD-3N neodymium pickups and an active Darkglass Tone Capsule electronics promise a multi-faceted sound spectrum. High-quality Hardware in the form of four Dingwall single bridges and precise Hipshot Ultralite bass tuners completes the NG3 Nolly Signature 4-String SignatureBass by Dingwall.
Multiscale construction for tight sounds
The construction of the Dingwall NG3 Nolly Getgood SignatureBass follows the trendy multiscale construction with optimally tuned scales for each string. Here the range is from 34" (864 mm) on the G to 36.25" (921 mm) on the E, so that every note is reproduced with absolute precision and even Sustain. While the alder body convinces with a perfect balance both on the strap and on the thigh, the bolt-on maple neck offers optimal playing characteristics for virtuoso grooves between the 24 fanned frets of the maple fingerboard thanks to the agile "Medium Thin C" profile.
Neodymium pickups and Darkglass electronics.
The electrical sound conversion of the NG3 Nolly Signature 4-String Bass is done by three Dingwall FD-3N pickups, which, thanks to the powerful neodymium magnets, come up with an aggressive, yet smooth tone. The rotary switch calls up the pickups individually as well as in serial or parallel combination, so that the four-stringer comes up with four characterful basic sounds. For precise adjustment of the sound, the Dingwall NG3 is equipped with the Darkglass Tone Capsule electronics, which is an active 3-band tone control with controls for basses as well as high and low mids. If desired, the four-stringer can also be set to passive mode.
High-quality hardware equipment
Last but not least, Dingwall's NG3 4-String Laguna Seca BlueE-Bass comes with a high-quality hardware setup that will handle tough sessions on stage and in the recording studio with unshakable reliability. On the body, four Dingwall single bridges promise optimal adjustment of intonation and string action, while on the headstock the popular Hipshot Ultralite tuners not only guarantee precise tuning, but also reliably prevent the dreaded neck dive.
