Dingwall JT3 John Taylor 4-String, Seafoam Green, Signature

Sheldon Dingwall has been making instruments in Saskatoon, Canada since the late 1980s. After initially making custom necks and bodies for musicians in local bands, he introduced his first bass model, the Voodoo Bass, in 1993.

The goal is simple: Dingwall wants the hair on the back of your neck to stand up every time you play one! For their team of craftsmen, making instruments is the most fascinating and fulfilling experience imaginable. It is the meeting point between the technical world of physics and engineering and the emotional world of soul and passion. Instruments from centuries ago are still valued today and passed down from generation to generation. Dingwall believes their instruments will have the same legacy. For this reason, each instrument is made with passion and reverence.

Fanned frets make the difference! Dingwall basses are synonymous with great sound, definition and the "Best B in the Business!" Bass players who use a Dingwall in the studio or live only hear praise from sound engineers. Why? Because of the fan fret system! It's all about the great fundamental tone that this system produces: even tension from string to string, strong fundamental tones with no bad overtones and no slack B-string! Like in a grand piano... the low strings are longer and the high strings are shorter! This produces the right tension and the right length for each of the notes to sound authentic.
