Dingwall is now streaming an extensive look at the 5-string iteration of the brand new John Taylor signature bass.
The John Taylor Signature – made for the Duran Duran bassist – combines a lightweight Nyatoh body with three neodymium pickups and an onboard preamp designed and configured in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs. The 4-string model offers a 36.25″ to 34″ scale, while the 5-string goes a little longer with a 37″ to 34″ scale.
“John’s bass playing with Duran Duran really imprinted on me how a bass should fit into a band mix,” says Sheldon Dingwall. “His basslines have always had a special combination of energy and elegance.”
“It all started when I was in Toronto about six years ago,” added Taylor. “A friend showed me a Dingwall bass on his phone. I loved how it looked and immediately said to my tech, ‘You’ve got to reach out to these guys!'”
The John Taylor Signature model follows the formula of the limited edition Rio Dream Bass, barring a few design tweaks and the Metallic Black, Primrose and Seafoam Green finishes, as well as a new 5-string variant.
