I absolutely had to pick up one of Nolly's Signature basses.

I have had his various Dingwalls and prototypes at my place for so long, but he ended up taking them back with him, so I needed something properly huge sounding for our Drop Ab tuning, and this thing is monstrous.

This bass is multiscale and it uses the Novax fanned fret system, which is fantastic and makes it 37" on the low side, meaning the low A is extremely clear and has a very rich fundamental tone to it.

The tone from the Alder body is further enhanced by an awesome preamp made by none other than Darkglass Electronics, and this eq really lets you shape your tone to best fit your mix.

It actually arrived in tune haha, I actually recorded something with it, might could post that up soon!

As far as the color goes, I clearly had to get this in Laguna Seca Blue because we all know that I have a pretty unhealthy obsession with that particular shade of my favorite color haha. Man they nailed that too.

Anyways here are pics:

Not surprised you went with the Laguna Seca Blue, grats on the bass.

Would it kill you to get one damn handle?! Just one!?

This one has carbon fiber with speed holes, at least.

Would it kill you to make one 80's shred album with Nolly?! Just one!?

Fixed. :yesway:

It's not even real carbon fibre, from what I've seen.

some day i'll buy one when I just have to have a 5er again.

Meh, as long as it looks like CF I wouldn't care either way. What it's missing is a lion claw.

:agreed: Basses need more whammy bars.

I hate fake CF. it's right up there with fake wood trim in cars and plastic painted to look like metal. I believe in honesty of materials.

I made a little clip if you guys wanted to hear it in the context of a mix:

What a beautiful bass! Would love to have one of those and it sounded really good on the demo. Got a really nice growl to it.

Do you have a music room in your house painted that color? I think you have more guitars that color than I have guitars. :lol:

 

[darren]

If he painted his room that colour, he'd never find his guitars! GAME OVER, MAN!

:lol:

I gotta figure out the string gauges for my Dingwall. I vastly prefer coated strings, but I can't find a XL set long enough to really use on that 37" scale.
