Designed with Adam “Nolly” Getgood (Periphery)

The NG3 is the evolution of Dingwall’s highly acclaimed Combustion series, developed in close collaboration with Adam “Nolly” Getgood, bassist of Periphery. Drawing from years of touring and recording with both Combustion and ABZ models, the NG3 blends the best of both worlds into a powerful, modern bass built for clarity, punch, and articulation.

“The low strings have clarity beyond anything I’ve ever heard before.”
— Adam “Nolly” Getgood

With its aggressive aesthetics, ergonomic contours, and signature multi-scale fanned-fret design, the NG3 feels instantly familiar yet unmistakably modern.

Body & Neck

• Alder body delivers a tight, focused low end with balanced mids

• 5-piece bolt-on maple neck ensures stability, sustain, and fast response

• Maple fingerboard with 24 banjo-sized frets offers precision and effortless playability

• Multi-scale (fanned fret) design provides even string tension, thunderous lows, and piano-like clarity across the neck

Pickups & Electronics

The NG3 is equipped with three Dingwall FD3n neodymium pickups, angled to follow the fan of the frets for optimal string response. Paired with the legendary Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp, this setup delivers immense punch, clarity, and modern aggression.

• 4-Position Quad-Tone pickup selector for instant tonal shifts

• Powerful 3-band active EQ (Bass, Low-Mid, High-Mid)

• Active/Passive toggle for maximum versatility on stage or in the studio

Hardware & Playability

Built for the demands of professional touring and recording:

• Dingwall “Minimalist” one-piece bridge for enhanced sustain and resonance

• Licensed Hipshot Ultralite tuners, custom-modified for ideal string break angle and tuning stability

• Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut for improved sustain and consistency

• Recessed jack socket and magnetic battery compartment cover for easy access

As praised by MusicRadar, the NG3 delivers outstanding balance, tuning stability, and a surprisingly natural feel despite its advanced multi-scale design.
