Hailing from Dingwall’s Ready to Play series, the SP1 represents a modernized, ultra-premium spin on iconic P-style punch. This bass begins with a lively alder body, mated to a 1-piece maple neck in Dingwall’s pleasing Elliptical profile. A set of 22 banjo-sized slanted frets on the 240mm-radius fingerboard makes it clear that this Dingwall boasts a multi-scale construction, which comprises a close-to-standard 35-inch length on the bass side and a low-tension, medium-scale 32 inches on the treble end. Next, the SP1’s dual pickup configuration — a split-coil Dual-P DPn and a bridge-position FD3n — allows you to cover serious sonic ground with a flick of the 4-way rotary switch. From warm, midrange-rich P-style tone to aggressive treble bite and popping slap bass finesse, these pickups are sure to thrill players of all styles, stripes, and techniques. Finally, Dingwall seals the deal with a high-performing set of hardware, consisting of their Dingwall Minimalist bridge and Custom Design tuning machines.
