Description

The Dingwall Guitars D-Roc 5-string Electric Bass Guitar is your ticket to an expansive sonic universe, seamlessly blending style with substance. This bass is crafted for musicians who crave versatility and precision, boasting a multi-scale design that ensures optimal string tension and smooth playability across all five strings. The body, carved from African mahogany (khaya), offers a warm resonance, while the bolt-on 5-piece maple neck, paired with a pau ferro fingerboard, delivers supreme stability and a comfortable playing experience.

Designed with the modern bassist in mind, the D-Roc features a trio of powerful FD-3n pickups equipped with neodymium magnets.

The lightweight Dingwall bridge and custom open-gear tuners ensure quick adjustments and reliable tuning stability, while the Graph Tech TUSQ nut enhances intonation. The attention to detail in the instrument's design, including strategically placed strap pins to prevent neck dive, ensures that you can play comfortably for hours.
