Renowned for his groundbreaking bass work with UK progressive metal pioneers TesseracT, the Amos Williams Signature model brings a host of performance-driven features to the Ready to Play artist lineup. The 4-string version features Dingwall’s signature 34.75–37″ multi-scale design and comes factory tuned to BEAD for extended low-end range.
Reflecting Amos’ commitment to reducing waste, each bass is built using carefully selected body off-cuts that would otherwise be too small to create a full instrument. This sustainable approach ensures that every bass is truly one of a kind, with its own distinctive grain pattern and visual character
Built on the proven Combustion platform, the body is primarily alder with laminated stripes of flame maple, rosewood, and mahogany. Available in both 4- and 5-string configurations, each model features Dingwall’s signature multi-scale design with a 37″ scale length on the low B, making it ideal for modern progressive music and extended-range playing. The bolt-on five-piece maple neck is reinforced with carbon fibre for enhanced stability, while its slim C profile ensures a fast, comfortable playing experience. A Pau Ferro fingerboard with 24 frets completes the package, working alongside Dingwall’s existing multi-scale system to deliver balanced string tension, improved intonation, and exceptional articulation across every string.
Loaded with three Dingwall FD3n pickups and EMG electronics, the Amos Williams Signature has been designed to deliver exceptional clarity, punch, and low-end authority. The control layout features active/passive switching, a 4-position rotary pickup selector, and a 3-band active EQ, giving you everything from articulate clean tones to crushing modern metal sounds while maintaining note definition across the entire frequency range.
A Graphtech nut, lightweight open-gear Hipshot tuners, and Dingwall’s minimalist bridge combine to provide outstanding stability, resonance, and rock-solid performance – despite the increased low-end demands of BEAD tuning. Other finishing touches include a recessed output jack and a magnetic battery compartment. Every detail has been carefully selected to ensure the Amos Williams Signature is as dependable on stage as it is inspiring in the studio.
Dingwall strings have been meticulously tested to maximize performance and deliver a tone that blends effortlessly with any style of music. We were the first company to design strings specifically for multi-scale instruments. Available in both nickel and stainless steel, our strings provide an even tension for optimal balance, letting you experience the warmest highs and the tightest lows possible.
