Dingwall NG-3 5-String Bass Guitar Black Forest Green

DESCRIPTION

The NG Signature model incorporates the collective know-how of Dingwall engineering and Darkglass Electronics in one unit. Developed to meet the punch and power required by Periphery bassist, Adam Nolly Getgood, the NG has served tours with the likes of Tony Levin (Liquid Tension Experiment), Josh Gilbert (Spiritbox) and Kyle Konkiel (Bad Wolves). As near to perfect as a modern rock bass gets.

Anyone familiar with the Combustion will feel immediately at home with the NG. Having been through a long development cycle involving Periphery bassist Adam Nolly Getgood, the NG shares many of the same characteristics as the Combustion, including the body shape and general layout.

However, the body wood is alder instead of the customary swamp ash of the Combustion, which is paired with a bolt-on maple neck and fingerboard. Nolly had been touring and recording with two Combustions, explains Sheldon Dingwall. He had given his custom Dingwall AB6 plenty of testing too. The NG combines everything he liked best about both models.
