【new】Dingwall / SP1 5st DCG MSM 4.170kg #IE260505714【GIB Yokohama】

Dingwall is a Canadian bass brand founded by Sheldon Dingwall.

They were among the first to adopt the "Novax Fanned-Fret System," which features a fanned fret design with varying scale lengths for each string, and their high level of craftsmanship has earned them worldwide acclaim.

From the NG series developed with Adam "Nolly" Getgood, to Lee Sklar, John Taylor, Kyle Konkiel, and many other bassists across genres, Dingwall basses are a favorite.

This particular model is the SP1.

It's the first regular model to feature the Super P design, which had been produced in the Custom Shop for over 10 years.

Hybrid production in Indonesia and Canada allows for the use of the same pickups as the Custom Shop models, while maintaining an accessible price point.

A particularly noteworthy feature of this model is its scale length.

Dingwall's 5-string basses typically have a long scale length of 37 inches for the 5th string and 34 inches for the 1st string.

By ensuring sufficient tension on the bass strings, this bass delivers a tight, focused low end, making it ideal for heavy down-tuning sounds.

On the other hand, the SP1's 5-string bass has a 5-string length of 35 inches and a 1-string length of 32 inches.

The overall length is shorter than the standard model.

The 5-string is slightly longer at 35 inches than a typical 5-string bass, maintaining the tension and definition of the B string.

In contrast, the 1-string is 32 inches, close to a short scale length.

The reduced tension on the treble strings enriches the harmonics of the D and G strings, resulting in a thick, mellow tone characteristic of a PB.

The fret fan spacing is also more modest than on standard models, so even those new to fanned frets will find it less jarring and feel comfortable in their hands quickly.

The body is made of alder, the neck is maple, and the fingerboard is also maple—a classic combination.

The body is slightly slimmer than a traditional PB, making it easy to handle.

The pickups are a split-coil Dual-P in the neck position and a soapbar-type FD3n in the bridge position.

Both are the same pickups as those used in the Custom Shop's Super P.

A 4-position rotary switch, "Quad-Tone," is used for pickup switching.

It allows you to switch between neck pickup only, both pickups in series, parallel, and bridge pickup only.

The neck pickup alone produces a thick, classic PB sound, while adding the bridge pickup creates a more defined, modern sound, making it a versatile instrument.

The circuitry is passive, and the controls are a simple volume and tone configuration.

The bridge is Dingwall's original minimalist bridge.

The color is Dark Candy Green.

The deep green color, combined with the black pickguard, creates a sharp, refined look.

This guitar combines the traditional PB style with Dingwall's signature fanned frets.

It's a great choice for anyone interested in fanned frets.
