Precision and Sound for Discerning Bassists at session.de
The Dingwall John Taylor Signature Bass Series is a tribute to the legendary sound of John Taylor (Duran Duran), offering modern bassists a unique combination of innovative technology and outstanding tone. Every model in this series embodies the essence of Taylor's iconic bass playing, particularly inspired by the legendary "Rio" album. Dive into a world where clarity, punch, and musical finesse merge at the highest level.
Fanned Frets (Multi-Scale): The Foundation for Unmatched Clarity and Feel
At the heart of every Dingwall John Taylor Signature Bass is the revolutionary Fanned-Fret (Multi-Scale) system. This innovative design ensures that each string has its optimal scale length – longer scales for the low strings and shorter ones for the high strings. The result is phenomenal string tension, providing exceptional definition and sustain even in the lowest tunings. The low B-string (on 5-string models) especially benefits from unparalleled clarity and a tight sound that cuts brilliantly through any mix. The more consistent string tension across the entire fretboard also significantly improves intonation and playing comfort. While the fanned frets might initially seem unusual, you'll find yourself adapting surprisingly quickly to this ergonomic feature, benefiting from unprecedented control and precision.
Rupert Neve Designs Preamp: The Tonal Character of an Audio Master
An absolute highlight of the Dingwall John Taylor Signature Series is the specially adapted 2-Band Active EQ Preamp, developed in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs. Rupert Neve is a legend in the audio world, and this preamp is designed to deliver an exceptionally clean, transparent, and musical tone. Whether you're looking for punchy, active sounds for modern grooves or that classic, organic growl in passive mode – this preamp provides enormous tonal versatility. It allows for precise sound shaping that optimally places the bass in the mix while always maintaining its individual character.
Dingwall FD3n Neodymium Pickups: Power and Dynamics for Every Nuance
Dingwall John Taylor Signature basses are equipped with three powerful Dingwall FD3n Neodymium Pickups. These specially developed humbuckers with neodymium magnets deliver a powerful, clear, and dynamic sound that accurately reproduces every playing nuance. The pickups are perfectly matched to the multi-scale system and contribute significantly to the impressive tonal balance and definition across all strings.
Quad-Tone Pickup Selector: Tonal Flexibility at Your Fingertips
With the intuitive Quad-Tone Pickup Selector, you have full control over your tonal palette. This rotary switch offers four versatile pickup configurations:
- Bridge Solo: For a cutting, assertive sound.
- Bridge/Middle Series: For a fat, full tone.
- Bridge/Neck Parallel: For that classic, open sound.
- Neck Solo: For warm, round, and deep bass tones.
This versatility makes Dingwall John Taylor Signature basses true all-rounders that seamlessly fit into a wide variety of musical genres.
High-Quality Construction and Inspiring Design
Every bass in the John Taylor Signature Series is crafted with the utmost care. The lightweight Nyatoh body provides excellent resonance and playing comfort, while the stable, bolt-on Maple neck (often 5-piece for maximum stability) with its slim "C" profile allows for fast and comfortable playability. The Pau Ferro or Rosewood fingerboard with 24 "banjo-size" frets offers a smooth playing feel. Visually, the basses impress with design elements inspired by the Duran Duran "Rio" album cover, including striking racing stripes and the distinctive "Rio Eye" inlay at the 12th fret. Lightweight tuners and Dingwall's minimalist bridge complete the overall package, ensuring tuning stability and precise intonation.
Experience the innovation and sound quality of the Dingwall John Taylor Signature Bass Series for yourself at session.de. Whether in the studio or on stage, these basses are built to inspire and impress you.
You're looking to buy a bass guitar with more than the usual four strings or are searching for a uniquely constructed instrument? Then the bass guitars from Canadian manufacturer Dingwall Designer Guitars are definitely worth checking out.
One of the standout features of these basses is the use of the fanned-frets design. In this construction, the frets are set into the fingerboard at angles so that the scale length of the lower strings is longer than that of the higher strings. This results in more sustain and improved intonation for the lower notes.
Dingwall also specializes in the production of 5- and even 6-string basses, making them a must-try for fans of extended range instruments.
In addition to high-end models like the Dingwall Afterburner or the Dingwall D-Roc Custom 5 String Gold, we also offer a wide selection from the more affordable Combustion Series. Here, North American woods and components are sent to China for assembly and further processing. Final setup and inspection take place at Dingwall’s headquarters in Saskatoon, Canada.
Because of the varying scale lengths, these instruments require special strings, which are also manufactured by Dingwall. If you're now curious about multiscale electric basses, we warmly invite you to test them out and take one home from our stores in Frankfurt and Walldorf. Of course, you can also conveniently order the instruments and electric bass strings directly to your home through our webshop.
