A tone beast

Spiros.G 18.01.2026

A late review, i love this bass. Actually i wanted a fan fret bass that isnt that "djenty" as Dingwall. Its phenomenal.
The only problem i found is that the neck is a bit more sensitive than expected when touring. It needed daily adjustments.
That's something classic for multiscale basses, but i feel its a bit too sensitive at tempratures changes.

Meh

RedRoom17 11.05.2026

It's a pain to find long life strings for this one, got the new Daddario XSB45130SL, extra ong scale yet the B and E string fall short to the nut. My yamaha trbx505 has fretbuzz, and so does this one that is 2x more expensive. Thats a big BIG negative. Other than that the build is good, nice pattern, i like the bridge. The pickups could be better, i dont like the pickup blend, it would be better if it had a guitar style selector, you can make that change yourself but its a hassle. Has a bunch of Mids. It's a budget Dingwall. But if you want a Dingwall sound, buy a Dingwall.

Good bass, not great QA

Gravemaster 29.12.2025

It's a good instrument, sounds good, feels good. Can't complain about the sound or features, and it also looks good.

But the QA was a miss. Majority of the frets on both sides are quite sharp to the point that I can't ignore I'll have to take it to a luthier to file them down. No idea whether it's only this one bass or if it's a common issue of this lineup. In any case, it's an extra expense I'd rather not have since the bass itself already isn't cheap.

Poor quality

Danil Sevagin 05.03.2026

Unfortunately, the cable connection broke after 3 days, and I am very disappointed with the poor quality of this bass.
