Dingwall NG-3 3 Pickup 5 String Matte Celestial Blue Maple Fingerboard

What we say:

At A Glance:

The NG-3 3 Pickup 5 String Matte Celestial Blue Maple Fingerboard from Dingwall is the signature model of Periphery bassist Adam "Nolly" Getgood.

The multi-scale construction ensures maximum tonal and tuning accuracy right across the fretboard. The powerful electronics and stunning build make it a dream to play for any style but it certainly excels at modern technical and progressive music as Adam quite clearly demonstrates!

Top drawer components like the individually mounted and adjustable saddles ensure maximum tonal transfer, while the alder body creates an excellent tonal foundation.

Features We Love:

Multi Scale Fretboard

Extended range basses in particular benefit so much from the addition of the fanned fret, multi-scale system, and Dingwall are among the best in the game. The combination of the long scale low strings and shorter highs ensure consistent, comfortable string tension across the neck, and as a result, a solid surety of tone from the bottom to the top.

Electronics

Dingwall's stunning FD3-N pickups are custom designed, with a high output for maximum versatility with the punch for a smooth and aggressive tone when needed. The inclusion of the Darkglass Tone Capsule 3-Band EQ preamp adds lots of sonic versatility and means you can dial in the correct tone for any situation. In addition to the EQ, the pickup selector and active/passive switch means you'll never struggle to get that ideal tone.

Dingwall/Hipshot Hardware

When you see two iconic names side by side, you know the results will be impressive and they certainly are. Nolly has opted for Hipshot/Dingwall hardware, meaning the bridge and tuners are reliable, extremely well-made and ready for a lifetime of performance.

Who Is It For?

Fans of Periphery will no doubt appreciate this but any bassist seeking a 5 string suited to contemporary needs could seriously benefit from what this model has to offer.

• A high quality, Multi-Scale instrument
