I loved how it looked and immediately said to my tech, ‘You’ve got to reach out to these guys!’”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eAs well as the ‘Rio Eye’ inlay at the 12th fret, other specs include a lightweight Nyatoh body, a bolt-on Maple neck and a Maple or Pau Ferro multi-scale fingerboard. The headstock sports a “Rio-inspired” graphic which complements the body stripes, designed by longtime Duran Duran collaborator, Patty Palazzo. The customary Dingwall fanned-fret system facilitates the most appropriate scale length for each individual string. It’s a concept that’s applied across the entire Dingwall range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e“This arrangement varies the strings’ scale length, meaning that the low B string benefits from maximum tension and feels great to play, with none of the dull-sounding flopping around that you get from a regular-scale 5-string.” Bass Player Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePICKUPS \u0026amp; ELECTRONICS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe three Dingwall neodymium pickups are wired to a Quad-Tone pickup selector, a master volume, master tone, and a 2-band active EQ that’s powered by a top-quality Rupert Neve Designs preamp. “Duran’s breakthrough single, the title track from 1982’s Rio, was originally recorded on a Neve console, so the history was already there,” says Sheldon. “But the team at Rupert Neve Designs absolutely nailed the tone.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe master tone control will serve perfectly well if you’re in passive mode, but if you’re interested in Taylor’s tones, you’ll stay in active mode, where the two-band boost and cut gives you an abundance of sonic options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe JT Signature is fitted with an equally impressive accompaniment of hardware, including lightweight tuners and the Dingwall Minimalist bridge. Once you discover that the magnetic battery cover on the rear flips on and off with zero effort, you’ll wonder how you ever had the patience to unscrew the compartment cover on your old instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e“We’ve been Dingwall fans since day one. They’re the Ferrari of bass guitars, with state-of-the-art science behind them that actually benefits players.

The key to their punchy tone is the use of Neodymium magnets; higher output means a more aggressive sound. Using the 4-position Quad-Tone pickup selector, you can choose to operate just the bridge pickup, the bridge and middle pickups, just the middle pickup, or the bridge, middle and neck pickup in unison. The remaining controls comprise passive tone and master volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“Selecting one pickup setting and panning across the tone control reveals a distinct amount of tonal light and shade.

This new bridge unit has been specially designed to be lightweight, solid and easy to adjust (a single wrench adjusts both the action and intonation). The hidden ball pocket also simplifies restringing, making the process quicker and easier than ever before. The remaining hardware, from the knurled control knobs to the edge-mounted jack socket, is plated with smoked nickel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dingwall Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54558451007763,"sku":"21285","price":2545.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/21285_lg1.jpg?v=1789158422"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/collections\/dingwall-logo.jpg?v=1789573184","url":"https:\/\/wildwoodguitars.com\/collections\/dingwall.oembed","provider":"Wildwood Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
