DINGWALL NG3-4 Aquamarine Flake Bass

DINGWALL NG3-4

Dingwall NG3 is the 4-stringed version of Adam “Nolly” Getgood’s signature model. The bass player from djent/prog.metal super group, Periphery.

There is a lot of things that make Dingwall stand out compared to other bass companies. Their unique looks, lightweight build and super-fast neck are some of them, but their most unique quality is definitely their dedication to fanned frets.
Why do I need fanned frets you might ask?

Well, if you have played a 5 or 6 string bass you have probably noticed that the low B sounds more dull than the E string, and the high C will sound brighter and thinner than the G.

This is because they use the same scale length across the entire fretboard, when in reality, the B-string needs a longer scale length and the C-string should have a shorter scale length to sound its best. Dingwall’s fret design combats exactly this pitfall by varying the scale length across the fretboard, so every note will jump out at you with punch, warmth and a ton of clarity.

Even though fanned frets are mostly used on extended range instruments, they also offer great benefits on a standard 4-string bass. With fanned frets every string has equal tension, which results in a more even tone overall, meaning that you don’t have to adjust your attack from string to string to get optimum tonal clarity.
