Just before our 42 show cross Canada tour I purchased a John Taylor Dingwall bass. I had heard so many great things about it, especially with the Neve preamp. I was blown away right from the first s... See more

Super J 5-String Owner
I’ve had a 2010 Super J 5-string for about 10 years, and it plays and sounds magnificent!
Solid open B; I highly recommend Dingwall.

Incredible bass
Incredible bass, well built, balanced, amazing sound, feel, etc, etc. there´s nothing wrong in it... i love it
Dingwall doesn’t want my money
I purchased a DRoc standard in April of ‘22. The neck was an absolute disaster but despite the lack of playability it had a good sound. I reached out in February’23 to try to purchase a Super J but they wouldn’t return my emails.

Tone Journey
My journey with Dingwall goes back to the early 2000's At the time I had bought and sold quite a few basses and was still looking for my sound. While on holiday in Florida I rented a car and drove to Bass Central knowing they had pretty much every bass I wanted to try. At that point I had owned Warwick/G&L/MM/Yamaha TRB6P-RBX-JM/Cort Artisan and probably some other I can't remeber..lol..all fantastic basses... just not what I was looking for, when I got to Bass Central I played an AB-1/5. End of journey, I got home from holiday and bought one in trans black/passive and its been my main bass up until I bought a Super P/4 in Fiesta Red. I have many bass buddies that now own Dingwalls, Sheldon and team are passionate and relentless in what they do and you can feel it when you play one of their basses. If you are on a "tone journey" like I was you owe it to yourself to try a Dingwall.

I own a NG3 6 string and it's the best bass I own. The quality of the build is better than expected, the playability and sound is very versatile and It's also very light. I hope one day I can purchase one of the higher end models.

Dingwall is simply the best. The detail, quality, and aesthetics in all aspects of their designs are superior to every other manufacturer I have tried. Their instruments comprise 100% of my bass collection including 7 Canadian models and an NG-2.

Beautiful, easy to play, tone that cuts through!
Dingwall basses are beautiful, easy to play, and deliver tone that cuts through any mix. They also provide amazing customer service. This is a company that not only delivers top of the line products, with fantastic attention to detail, they also care about their customers. I liked my first Dingwall so much that I’m slowly replacing all of my other basses with Dingwalls.
Epic
These basses are epic..! What an experience so far… Dingwall has made it simple and easy to always provide a epic tone..! With plenty of low end accompanied with lots of presence in mid tone and super clarity on the high end has made touring with these basses an amazing experience.. From hip-hop to R&B to pop or even jazz/fusion, it fits every genre.. That sound plus the buttery feel is simply unmatched.. The staff/team at Dingwall have been amazing, since day 1 they always made me feel like I was family and have been a pleasure to work with..
