Dingwall NG3 Nolly 5-String Celestial Blue

The signature bass that captures Nolly's modern metal tone in every detail

The Dingwall NG3 Nolly 5-String is the third generation of Adam 'Nolly' Getgood's signature bass, bassist of Periphery and one of the most influential names in modern metal and progressive music. This Celestial Blue edition is not just a beautiful instrument: it has been built from the ground up around the specific requirements of a professional studio bassist who wants to hear, feel and control every note.

Dingwall's characteristic fanned fret system provides a longer scale length on the low strings and a shorter one on the high strings, resulting in an exceptionally tight and defined low B-string without sacrificing playing comfort. The tone is powerful, layered, and remarkably articulate: ideal for complex riffs, polyphonic passages, and the high demands of modern production. Whether you're recording directly into a DAW or playing through an amplifier, the NG3 always delivers a signal that's ready for the mix.

The bass is equipped with Dingwall's proprietary FD3N pickups, specially designed for this model in collaboration with Nolly. The active electronics offer a versatile EQ with room for subtle tone shaping to drastic tonal changes. The neck is made of maple with a wenge fingerboard, 21 frets in the fanned fret configuration, and a comfortable asymmetrical neck profile. The hardware is high-quality and matched to the Celestial Blue body finish, which also visually makes the guitar a statement.

The Dingwall NG3 Nolly 5-String is an instrument for bassists who refuse to compromise.
