SUPER J STANDARD OVERVIEW
The Super J is our interpretation of the Classic J style bass. We deconstructed the original design, kept what worked and improved on everything else. The look and feel lean toward the traditional, but the tone and performance are everything you’d expect from a Dingwall. We downsized the scale 2” from our standard scale range for a faster attack and quicker, punchier decay. The results are great clarity on the B and E-strings with a big and warm quality to the D and G-strings.
The Standard features a pick guard and top mounted controls.

If I could afford this bass it would be mine right now. the most beautiful combo of vintage & modern I have ever seen. I have played a coulple of them and loved the feel and sound right from the first note. now I just need an endorsment deal.
Beautiful work.
This bass just kills me for some reason…and I don’t even like Fenders, or Geddy Lee’s bass! But this is a work of art, man…this should be in the museum in Ottawa…seriously! One of the most radical things I have ever seen, but conservative and understated at the same time.
Gorgeous work, man. You make us Canadian bass players proud. Keep the faith, man, these things are going to catch on bigtime, they sound SO good!
Cheers,

Wow! Probably the next best thing to oxygen. I still get excited just by looking at it…
If I’d known I could get one of these I would have held off getting my 3TS Super J5…well, maybe not, but still…beautiful!
Magnificent! Just laying my eyes upon it makes my spirit soar and my jaw drop! How ever long it takes I will scrape the money together to buy my very own.
This bass is still a pleasure to play after four years of regular use. I continue to be moved by the tones and the feel of the instrument, and remain convinced that Sheldon nailed it with this design.
Thanks for your work. We’ve all benefited from it!
I HAVE BEEN PLAYING BASS FOR 50 YEARS AND MOSTLY A J BASS. THE DINGWALL J BASS IS PROBABLY THE BEST BASS I HAVE EVER OWNED AND OR PLAYED.
I am an old skool guy, with a birth date to prove it (1961), My 3rd Dingwall is infact the first production 5 strings Super J with a P/J pickup configuration and this bass exceeds all my expectations of a vintage revisited, best P bass sound I have ever heard and great Jazz bridge Jaco sound too all in one. No wonder the call it SUPER J it is in fact Super!
I remember the day this bass first arrived at Bass NW in Seattle. We were all chatting, and when Evan took this bass out and set it on the stand the room got quiet… we all just stopped what we were doing, and stared at it. I have never seen a more beautiful instrument. (Including my Afterburner II!) I will own this some day.
I just bought the same Super J than you can see on the picture above and it is just awesome.
It is not only a beautiful instrument, the versatility of the possible sounds exceeds my expectations.
thank you for your fantastic work!
Les dingwall rendent le monde meilleur.
Les DINGWALL me rendent dingue, bon je sais, facile mais tellement vrai….! ! !
They’ve launched a Super P recently but the new member of the Super series bass is not actually listed in the products page.
I think a Super PJ is also in the works.
dès que j’ai posé mes mains dessus, la magie a opéré…. quel instrument……! une pb moderne et qui sonne…….! quel plaisir de l’avoir chez soi et avec soi !
