Dingwall D-Roc Standard Bass — Gloss Aquamarine Metalflake

The Dingwall D-Roc Standard is a modern, high-performance bass designed for players who want aggressive punch, exceptional tonal flexibility, and Dingwall's distinctive multi-scale feel. This Gloss Aquamarine Metalflake finish gives the D-Roc a striking stage presence, while its passive FD3n pickup system and 4-position Quad-Tone selector provide a wide range of powerful, articulate bass tones.

Built around a Khaya African mahogany body, 5-piece maple bolt-on neck, and pau ferro fingerboard, the D-Roc Standard combines a rock-forward aesthetic with the precision and versatility expected from Dingwall.

The D-Roc is loaded with three Dingwall FD3n passive pickups with neodymium magnets. The 4-position Quad-Tone rotary selector lets you switch between four distinct pickup combinations, ranging from focused bridge tones to the full bridge/middle/neck configuration. A master volume and passive tone control keep the interface simple and intuitive.

Hipshot Licensed Ultralite tuners and a GraphTech Black TUSQ nut complete the hardware package, while smoked-nickel hardware—including the knurled control knobs and edge-mounted jack—adds to the instrument's distinctive appearance.
