Dingwall JT3 John Taylor Signature, 5-string Cream
Product information "Dingwall JT3 John Taylor Signature, 5-string Cream"
When Sheldon Dingwall and John Taylor team up for a limited edition of the Rio Dream Signature bass, it's no surprise that it sells out quickly. Here is the Combustion model, which follows the formula of the limited edition JT Bass, with the exception of a few design changes and the Metallic Black, Primrose, and Seafoam Green finishes, as well as a new 5-string version.
In addition to its stunning looks and special preamps, each bass offers wonderful playability and a sound that reveals rare clarity and sophistication.

You want to buy a bass with more than the usual four strings or are you looking for a rather unusually designed instrument? Then the bass guitars from the Canadian maker Dingwall Designer Guitars are definitely worth a look.
One special feature of these basses is the use of fanned-fret construction (fanned frets). The frets are set into the fretboard so that the scale length of the low strings is longer than that of the high strings. This gives the low strings more sustain and a tone that is more pitch-accurate.
In addition, Dingwall specialises in the production of 5- and even 6-string basses – an absolute must for fans of extended-range instruments.
Alongside absolute high-end basses like the Dingwall Afterburner or the Dingwall D-Roc Custom 5 String Gold, you'll also find many models from the affordable Combustion series with us. Here, North American woods and components are sent to China for assembly and further processing. Final setup and inspection are then carried out again at Dingwall's main headquarters in Saskatoon, Canada.
Because of the different scale lengths, special strings are required, which are also manufactured by Dingwall. If you're curious about the multiscale electric basses now, we warmly invite you to try them out and take one straight away at our stores in Frankfurt and Walldorf. Of course, you can also order the instruments and bass strings conveniently from our webshop for home delivery.
