Bass Guitars used by Toshiya on PHALARIS
Avg price: $4,900.00
The new partner that played a significant role in the recording of «ARCHE» is the ABZ XXX model from Dingwall's Afterburner series. It features a "fan-fret" system (fanned fretboard) that ensures precise pitch and even string tension. As mentioned in interviews, for Toshiya, who often uses tunings with low B, A, or A# strings, this bass guitar has been a perfect fit. The body is made of swamp ash, the neck of hard rock maple, and the fingerboard of wenge. It is equipped with three original FD-34L pickups and a Glockenklang preamp. Controls include volume, a two-band EQ, and a pickup selector (with active/passive switching capability). Masking tape is applied to the headstock (photo 1) and bridge (2) to dampen unwanted vibrations. Toshiya used Dingwall ABZ on TOUR23 PHALARIS: https://youtu.be/Z0G7-BsN3sY?si=WwW0p3HpjF0Cd9TN
