The Dingwall NG3 Nolly 5-String 3PU CB Celestial Blue matte at a glance
With the Dingwall NG3 Nolly Signature 5-String 3PU CB Celestial Blue Matte, the Canadian bass manufacturer Adam "Nolly" Getgood, the charismatic bassist and producer of djent metal pioneers Periphery, tailors a 5-string E-Bass in a trendy multiscale design. In addition to the alder body, Dingwall relies on an extremely agile "Medium Thin C" neck made of maple, while FD-3N neodymium pickups and active Darkglass Tone Capsule electronics promise a multi-faceted sound spectrum. High-quality Hardware in the form of Dingwall single bridges and precise Hipshot Ultralite bass tuners complete the NG3 Nolly Signature 5-string bass guitar from Dingwall.
The Dingwall NG3 Nolly Signature 5-String 3PU CB Celestial Blue Matte is the Periphery bassist's signature electric bass with flexible sounds and agile playing characteristics.
The bolt-on maple neck of the Dingwall NG3 impresses with its agile playing characteristics thanks to its "Medium Thin C" profile.
Multiscale construction for tight sounds
The construction of the NG3 Nolly Getgood Signature Bassfollows the popular 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 low B, so that every note is reproduced with absolute precision and even Sustain. While the alder body of the bass guitar impresses with its perfect balance both on the strap and on the thigh, the bolt-on maple neck offers optimum playing characteristics for virtuoso grooving between the 24 fanned frets of the maple fingerboard thanks to the agile "Medium Thin C" profile.
Three Dingwall FD-3N neodymium pickups and the active Darkglass Tone Capsule electronics promise a flexible sound spectrum.
Neodymium pickups and Darkglass electronics
The NG3 Nolly Signature 5-String Bass is electrically powered by three Dingwall FD-3N pickups, which produce 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 has four basic sounds with a strong character. For precise adjustment of the sound, the Multiscale Bass is equipped with the 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.
Hipshot Ultralite tuners guarantee precise tuning and prevent neck dive.
High-quality hardware equipment
Last but not least, the NG3 Nolly Signature 5-String 3PU CB Celestial Blue matte Bass features high-quality hardware that can handle even the toughest sessions on stage and in the recording studio with unwavering reliability. On the body, five Dingwall single bridges promise optimum adjustment of intonation and string action, while on the headstock the popular Hipshot Ultralite tuners not only guarantee precise tuning but also reliably prevent the dreaded neck dive.
