With the Dingwall NG2 Nolly Signature 5-String Black Forrest Green, the Canadian bass manufacturer Adam "Nolly" Getgood, the charismatic bassist and producer of djent metal pioneers Periphery, tailors a 5-string Bass in a trendy multiscale design that impresses with clean articulation even at lower tunings. In addition to the alder body, Dingwall relies on an extremely agile "Medium Thin C" maple neck, while FD-3N neodymium pickups and active Darkglass Tone Capsule electronics promise a multi-faceted sound spectrum. High-quality Hardware in the form of five Dingwall single bridges and precise Hipshot Ultralite bass tuners complete the NG2 Nolly Signature 5-String SignatureBass from Dingwall.
Multiscale construction for tight sounds
The construction of the Dingwall NG2 Nolly Getgood SignatureBass follows the trendy multiscale design with optimally matched scale lengths for each string. This ranges from 34" (864 mm) for the G to 37" (940 mm) for the B, so that every note is reproduced with absolute precision and even Sustain. While the alder body impresses with its perfect balance both on the strap and on the thigh, the bolt-on maple neck offers optimum playing characteristics for virtuoso grooves between the 24 fanned frets of the maple fingerboard thanks to the agile "Medium Thin C" profile.
Neodymium pickups and Darkglass electronics
The NG2 Nolly Signature 5-String Bass is electrically powered by two Dingwall FD-3N pickups, which deliver an aggressive yet smooth tone thanks to the powerful neodymium magnets. The rotary switch calls up the pickups individually as well as in serial or parallel combination so that the five-string comes up with four basic sounds full of character. For precise sound adjustment, the Dingwall NG2 is equipped with Darkglass Tone Capsule electronics, an active 3-band tone control with controls for bass, high and low mids. If desired, the five-string can also be set to passive mode.
High-quality hardware equipment
Last but not least, the NG2 5-String Black Forrest GreenE-Bass from Dingwall comes with high-quality hardware equipment that can handle tough sessions on stage and in the recording studio with unwavering reliability. Five Dingwall single bridges on the body promise optimum adjustment of intonation and string action, while the popular Hipshot Ultralite tuners on the headstock not only guarantee precise tuning but also reliably prevent the dreaded neck dive.
