D-ROC Custom

The D-Roc Custom is the modern evolution of a classic design, extremely well balanced, with virtually no neck dive.

Featuring a super sleek khaya body, headstock matched wood pickguard, and the great tone and definition you look for in a Dingwall.

Available in: 4 or 5-strings, passive electronics, and take your pick from a range of available matte finishes.

 

Body

Khaya body, matching wood pickguard. Black Hipshot/Dingwall hardware.

Headstock

We designed a downsized tribute headstock with Hipshot Ultralite. The results are excellent balance and solid performance.

Bridge

The V3 bridge is our newest minimalist bridge design. It is lightweight, solid and simple to adjust. A single wrench adjusts both the action and intonation.

The wrench size has been carefully chosen to be universally compatible with metric and imperial systems. As with the Z and Afterburner bridges, the adjustments are set and forget, leaving you free to focus on your music.

The hidden ball pocket simplifies restringing, making the process quicker and easier than ever before. The “bridge in pocket” design allows the bridge to be mounted to flat or curved top basses. The bridge sits on adjustable macro-shims that allow for the perfect string angle to be achieved no matter how high or low the desired action.

Electronics

FDV pickups are made in-house. They feature Alnico 5 magnets which offer high output and a smooth but aggressive tone.

strings

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.

 

Note: basses are shipped with Dingwall Nickel Strings
