We checked in with Jacob Umansky for a personal rundown of his Dingwall bass guitars… in this video, Jacob explains the story behind his first NG, his latest 6-string prototype, how he first got involved with bass guru Sheldon Dingwall and much more!

it was so amazing meeting both Jacob and Sheldon at sweetwater and also getting a chance to play Jacob's bass, cant wait for this to drop!!!

[@DingwallGuitars]

It was really nice to meet you

[@outsider462]

When will it be available? 😅

[@Grindspine]

That bass is so awesome. I am still so very grateful that you let me check it out at SW during guitarfest!

[@bobwarren4707]

So Cool!! I think Jacob is one of those once in a generation talents. I'm super excited for this model and for Jacob. Congrats to Jacob and Dingwall on this. I have an NG-3 I love, I think this might have to be the next one I get.

[@zer0dave]

I got to meet Jacob and the guys at their last Chicago show...gifted him a mini bust of the Venom Marvel Comics character :). He was such an awesome dude to talk to and was such a monster at the show...not only were his chops and sound so ridiculously on point but he really got the crowd going! He's definitely deserving of this awesome bass. Congrats!

Jacob is the reason I own a dingwall today! I have a couple of NG's and I'm planning on picking up a signature when they finally come out.

[@WillWeiner]

Very cool!! My ABZ also has FDV pickups and a Darkglass preamp. I’ve loved Jacob’s tone for ages and had no idea we had incredibly similar basses until now. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@chrislctr]

That's cool man, it's honestly about time we get some other variety in the more obtanium price points BESIDES the NG / Combustion, bass looks rad!!

[@frankmarini5391]

incredible player, and equally incredible basses

[@czarpaul01]

Great player , glad he’s getting a signature. Just a partnership made in heaven for both it seems. I have a D-rock and it’s amazing. Can only imagine how good the Canadian ones are.

[@papabungle]

"As of now its one of a kind but that will not be the case for long" Good lord

[@billyjay1]

Wow nice collection!!

[@chriswalkerbass]

Jacob's a legend, would love to get a Dingwall one day

[@sharnoldpapa7339]

I would buy that signature bass in a heartbeat.

[@armanborloza7981]

Sheldon is a Legend!

[@UndarZ]

Jacob has that Charlie Cox (Daredevil) "look right past you" stare.

[@thenoodleking]

When can we finally hear about this new standard series?

[@david_onbass]

Will your signature prototype be available in a 5 string version? :D

[@hyperplayability6290]

I figured out why the knobs are moved on the signature prototype just now 😆

[@DavelyDriven]

Dreams

[@cags12]

Question is. Is it gonna be a signature imported version or Canadian? Similar price point as the NG?

[@finestgoods]

My guess is imported. But if you're in another country other than Canada and China (I think), technically all the Dingwalls are imported. That's what I told myself when I bought the Combustion. I was able to fool myself.

[@DingwallGuitars]

Right now, this is a prototype, and we will announce the final specifications soon.

[@francoishtzl157]

​@@finestgoods nah he wants to know if it is a Chinese made or Canadian made 😆

[@JonesHess]

Shut up and take my money! (if I have enough *fingers crossed)

[@finestgoods]

I guess I'll start doing a bunch of work around the house in hopes to minimize how many times she punches me after I buy this bass.

[@DingwallGuitars]

😆

[@Ancient_Iron]

It's quite easy to get into Dingwall basses if you get them handed to you free...🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

[@andrewneehall5664]

Yes, it is quite easy to get into anything if you are handed it for free. But I bet the countless hours of practice he put in to reach a skill level where he would be considered "signature artist" material were neither free nor easy.

[@jobelewis6416]

Wow, like he didn’t earn it nah?

[@Ancient_Iron]

@@jobelewis6416 Well... You didn't get my point. There are many of us who would love to own a Dingwall bass. But they are simply out of our reach...😔

[@Ancient_Iron]

@@andrewneehall5664 I understand that and my intention was not judge his skills. Music business is weird, if someone is good at doing his job he/she gets rewarded by good "tools" which he/she usually get to own. If someone is for example a very good mechanic, it is very very rare that one gets to have 15000$ toolset to own.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@andrewneehall5664]

@@Ancient_Iron Keep saving, and keep an eye out for a used Combustion or NG. It's definitely worth it! At around $2,200 USD new you would have to save $6 per day for 1 year, or $3 for 2 years, less if you get one used. Not meaning to trivialize it, I know money is really tight for a lot of folks right now. Not sure what country you are from, but in Canada and the USA some people spend more than $3 per day on coffee, cigarettes, or alcohol. If you have an expense like that you can cut out you'll have a Dingwall before you know it :)
