Bass of the Week: Dingwall Z
Dingwall’s basses are always eye-catching, but this Z model is on another level. The company shared the bass on Facebook writing, “Legend has it that if you play the forbidden riff on this Dingwall Z in Blood Moon Orange Reverseburst, you may turn into a werewolf!”
The five-string has a swamp ash body, a multi-scale wenge neck, and an ebony fingerboard with blue luminlay side dots. It’s fitted with a set of Dingwall’s FDV pickups, a Darkglass Tone Capsule, and black hardware.
