Welcome to Dingwall Guitars
Our goal is simple: We want to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up every time you play a Dingwall
For our team of craftspeople, building instruments is the most fascinating and fulfilling experience imaginable. It is the meeting place between the technical world of physics and engineering and the emotional world of soul and passion. Instruments from centuries ago are today still cherished, passed on from generation to generation. We believe that the instruments we build will share the same legacy. Because of this, we build every instrument with passion and reverence.
One of the highlights of the Frankfurt show was getting the chance to meet and work with Or Lubianiker. Here he is trying out a Combustion and making it sing.

We are about to release one of the most exciting basses we’ve ever designed. Simple, great sounding, great looking, light weight…

Anyone tuning into the Oscars this weekend will have an unexpected treat. We’re super excited to announce that Lee Sklar will be holding down the bottom end during the show using his Signature Dingwall! I don’t know how he does it, managing a full schedule of unrelated studio work this week with rehearsals and a live gig watched by hundreds of millions on the weekend!!!??
Let’s hear it for Lee!
www.notreble.com is a really cool website for bass players (with one of those “I wish I would have thought of that” type names). Check them out, they’ve got a lot of great stuff from product info to blazing chops videos.
The results of their NAMM web traffic are in and our Super P took the top slot. Thanks notreble guys.

Here’s a quick youtube video of Mitch Starkman demoing the Super P through the new Aguilar Tone Hammer 350. Let me know what you think.

NAMM is next week. I’ll be heading down with a C1 (this one unofficially named the Vincent) and a production version of the Super P. This Super P turned out every bit as great as the David Swift prototype. This one is passive and we’ve designed a really cool passive mid/tone control that is flat at the center detent, rolls off treble on one half like a traditional tone contral and cuts mid in the other half for a really sweet fingerstyle or slap tone.
The new headstock badge replaces the scallop used on the Super J and the new string tree is influenced by 1950’s Jet-age American hood ornaments.
I’ll be hanging out at the Hipshot booth #5735. Monday I’ll be at Bass San Diego for Canadian Bass Day.
