Surgical Low-End Punch in a Striking Celestial Blue Finish
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to offer the Dingwall NG3 Adam "Nolly" Getgood Signature 5-String Bass in the eye-catching Celestial Blue finish with a smooth Maple Fretboard. Co-designed with modern metal producer and former Periphery bassist Adam "Nolly" Getgood, the NG3 takes the proven Combustion engine and dials it in specifically for high-definition, high-gain, and studio-grade bass performance.
Why the NG3 5-String Dominates the Modern Mix
Low-end clarity is non-negotiable for modern bassists. The NG3 5-String utilizes Dingwall’s proprietary 34" to 37" Novax Fanned-Fret system, providing the exact string tension required to keep the low B-string tight, punchy, and crystal-clear—even in drop tunings. Combined with a solid alder body and a fast 5-piece maple neck, this bass delivers effortless ergonomics and instantaneous transient response.
