Dingwall's "Ready to Play" collection (made in China, assembled and completed in Canada) features three models; the Combustion, Combustion NG and D-Roc. The mighty D-Roc is perhaps the cooles and sexiest bass on the market today...at least, we think so!
There is no hiding behind where Dingwall got their inspiration for this model; many other guitar companies went down the road of re-making or copying the iconic Firebird bass, but when Dingwall does it, it's just a notch up and they really managed to create a mature, 2.0 version. The contour of the body is a bit different and so is the headstock, but you have to admit; this model, this bodyshape with the unmistakable Dingwall 3-pickup configuration and multiscale frets is just bad ass!
The D-Roc is a no-nonsense bass for sure. It features passive electronics with a volume control, tone control and a 4-way pickup switch for the 3 Dingwall FD-3n pickups; bridge, bridge + middle parrallel, middle and all pickups combined (oh lord!!). The body is made of mahogany, the neck is a 3-piece maple neck with a pau ferro fingerboard and despite the substantial size of this bodyshape, the D-Roc is always remarkably lightweight!
And yes, it is the ultimate rock bass, sounding phat, full and super tight. What you see is what you get. Available in several unique finishes.
The D-Roc is available as a 4 and now also as a 5 string and has a multi-scale of 34-36.25" or 34-37" respectively. And like everything on this bass suggests, the D-Roc is an amazing rock bass; fat, full and super tight in tone. What you see is what you get + a ton of character! Available in a variety of unique finishes and comes with a deluxe Dingwall gig bag.
