Canadian Luthier Sheldon Dingwall was the first manufacturer to apply Ralph Novax's fanned fret system to bass. Dingwall's Voodoo 5-string features a 37' scale length on the b string and 34' for the G; this gives the B amazing depth and clarity while keeping the familiar tension on the G. the Voodoo Bass makes our list for its innovation and great Bstring sound.
