 Al Niblock Bassist for The Commitments (yes the movie!) Al has been a Dingwall endorser since 2001.”Thanks again for a beautiful bass and for looking after me when I called in. I must tell you, I just love the Dingwall, Its so in tune that at first I thought it was out……seriously……. At the moment I am enjoying how easy the bass is to play.” |  Carl Carter Ex-bassist for Brian McKnight, Carl currently plays for Spin Doctors, Jiro Yoshida, Chuck Loeb among others.

Check out Arlington’s outstanding Jazz CD “Cool Casual”.”I am really enjoying the new Dingwall FD-3 pickups, they make play in the style of my early 70’s funk and soul fusion days. These pickups have that vintage “Throwback” style of the very early Marcus Miller Fender jazz tone.” |  Ross Vallory (Journey) |
 Mark Fain (Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn) |  Prescott Niles (The Knack) |  Scott Petito Scott takes bass where it’s never been before on his CD “Sbass Music:. Textural, emotional, spatial, at times even eerie. |  Paul Slagle Dingwall basses are the finest instruments I have. |
 Suzie Vinnick |  J. Langlois (Sin’s Den) |  Micah Vasquez “I was introduced to Dingwall, luckily, by my bass intructor John Reid early in my career. Ever since then I have never wanted to play another bass.” |  Mike Brignardello “The most in-tune bass I’ve ever played…I love it!” |
 John Reid “I’ve been playing Dingwall basses for more years now than I can count. They’re the best out there in my opinion. Many of my students have become Dingwall devotees from seeing and hearing mine in their lessons. My new Super J 5 is a masterful combination of old school vibe and new school technology. It sounds, feels, looks, and plays great! Sheldon and the team’s workmanship is impeccable on every bass they make.” |  Julia Newton “I have been playing bass for the last 10 years or so in everything from the high school Jazz band to a Strings Ensemble and an Orchestra; from Rock and Roll worship at youth events to the Pop music of today. www.raquelwarchol.com |  Alberto Rigoni "Someone said: "It's a long way to the top". Well, if you get a Dingwall it's not! Low B (and A!!) to DIE FOR, perfect balance between the strings, unbelievable sustain, HUGE tone... and the Fanned Fret System is so cool.. I got used to it in 5 minutes! Now I can play much better and faster than on a standard bass! Dingwall is the best bass I've ever had and I'm proud to be the first italian endorser! Thanks for making them, |  Macleod Reynolds When I first picked up a Dingwall, I was absolutely stunned at the craftsmanship and found the intuitive fanned fret design to be incredibly comfortable. I loved the bright tone and I was instantly hooked. I have yet to play a 5 string that could live up to the standards, quality, comfortable, playability, and tone that a Dingwall has to offer. To sum it up, I would say they are the most comfortable 5 string bass I have ever played. I'm very proud to be the youngest endorser for Dingwall and I'm very happy I discovered their basses. soundcloud.com/macleod-reynolds |
 Justin Lamey The B - string definitely lives up to the hype, but I think my favorite part of these instruments is how even the tone is string to string and through out the whole neck. I'm playing areas of the neck now that I used to avoid due to the muddy sound. The wide range of tones allows me to play this bass on any style of gig and the weight and balance make it very easy to play night after night. |  Lisa Dodd "The Z Series basses are simply the most natural feeling basses I have ever played... a perfect fit." |  Felipe Gomez |  Bertrand Allaume "The Dingwall Z2 is definitely the greatest bass I've ever played. I can use it in all situations (stage, recording studio) and for all styles of music (from progressive rock to jazz fusion, blues, funk, etc...). The sound is always perfect and well balanced." |
 Or Lubianiker The dynamic range, definition and even response of my Dingwall allows me to feel in control of my basses' presence in any musical situation, I can be confident that I will cut through the mix with a balanced punchy tone, just how I like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU02V-iuxAw |  Jase Sng The Dingwall concept is quite frankly a clear solution to any reservations one might have about owning a bass with a B string; think deep, detailed & functional to the highest position on the fretboard. & then there's the true allure of proprietary hardware, sensible design & magnificent, versatile sound. |  Adam “Nolly” Getgood "My Dingwalls breezed through a real trial-by-fire as their first live test, going from the UK's cold to extreme heat and humidity in the Philippines: not even a hint of neck movement and the live tone was absolutely jaw-dropping - now I know how good those low strings sound I feel embarrassed about all the shows I've played prior to having them! If you're playing downtuned music, you owe it to yourself to try them out - I guarantee you'll be blown away" |  Ryan Wilson Bassist and back-up vocalist for Mishka. |
 Chris Clark I found Dingwall several years ago and since then I have played nothing else. Their combustion basses never cease to impress. Whatever genre you play in, the combustion delivers the goods. They are the ultimate in clarity, flexibility, tone and looks. They are how basses should be. |  Matthew Denis "Sheldon & Co. have created a truly unique bass design over at Dingwall, the most obvious aspect of which is their use of the Novax fanned-fret system; in addition to being visually striking it creates perfectly even and light string tension with uncannily accurate intonation throughout the neck. |
