A top-class performer
Dingwall Guitars aren’t strangers to high performance, and that’s just what you’ll find tucked away in the D-Roc bass guitar. With stellar appointments and top-shelf hardware, the D-Roc is designed to ensure players maintain peak performance. Dingwall’s multi-scale, fanned fret layout is the perfect example of this player-centric design — effectively making for ultra-fast grooves while lessening fatigue and promoting correct hand positioning. The body of the D-Roc is carved from khaya, a type of African mahogany, while its neck boasts a robust wenge construction topped with an ebony fingerboard. Moreover, Dingwall sought the perfect body design and strap pin locations to prevent dreaded neck dive. Lastly, Hipshot Ultralite tuners and a phenolic nut ensure supreme tuning stability wherever your low-frequency life takes you.
Enhanced hardware for a smooth groove
The 5-string version of the D-Roc comes equipped with Dingwall’s minimalist bridge, specifically designed to be lighter weight and offer quick, easy adjustments. Simply give it a turn with a wrench and you can adjust intonation and action at the same time. Dingwall also simplified the restringing process by adding a hidden ball pocket. Ask any bassist at Sweetwater, and they’ll tell you you’d be hard-pressed to find a better-performing 5-string bass than the Dingwall Custom Shop D-Roc!
