Dingwall Bass Guitars
If you've ever played any Dingwall Basses, you already know. If you haven't, nothing we write here will prepare you for what that B-string feels like under your fingers.
Dingwall's multiscale design isn't a gimmick. It's physics. By fanning the frets, each string gets its own optimised scale length. The result? Even tension across the board, fundamentals that actually sound like fundamentals, and a low B so tight and defined it earned the reputation of being the "best B in the business." Once you feel it, every parallel-fret bass starts to seem like a compromise.
We're one of Dingwall's largest dealers in Europe, with the biggest custom order list on this side of the Atlantic. Whether you want something off the shelf or built to your exact spec in the Canadian Custom Shop, this is the place.
Ready-to-Play Models
Our stock rotates constantly, but here's what we typically carry:
- Combustion - The workhorse. Affordable multiscale that punches way above its price point.
- NG3 - The step up. Better pickups, more refined tone, still unmistakably Nolly. The NG3 5 in Ducati White is essentially a permanent fixture on our order list — we restock it as fast as it sells.
- D-Roc - Boutique-level build quality with three FDV pickups. Versatile enough for any genre, striking enough to turn heads (and honestly a freaking rock monster)
All models are available in 4-string, 5-string, and 6-string configurations. Finishes include Ducati White, Laguna Blue, Gold Matte, Aquamarine, Metallic Black, Black Forest Green, Celestial Blue, Ari Gold, Ferrari Green, and more.
Canadian Custom Shop
For those who want something truly their own, we handle Dingwall Custom Shop orders directly. The lineup includes the Super J, Super P, Super PJ, Z3, Afterburner, and the Lee Sklar Signature, all built by hand in Canada to your specifications.
As a result of years working closely with Dingwall, we know the options, the lead times, and the pitfalls. In other words, we'll walk you through the entire process so the bass you receive is exactly the one you had in your head.
Why Multiscale?
If you're still on the fence, here's what Dingwall's fanned-fret system actually delivers:
- Equalised tension from string to string : no more adjusting your technique to compensate for a slack low B or an overly stiff G.
- Stronger fundamental tones : cleaner lows without the woolly overtones that plague standard-scale 5-strings.
- Better intonation across the entire neck : because each string vibrates at its ideal length.
- That B-string : tight, focused, and articulate. Once you've played it, you'll understand why people won't shut up about it.
- It's actually pretty fast to get used to it, we'd say 3min for the lower register and 5min for the upper register (above 14th fret)
