Bring classic P-style bass vibe into the modern era with the Dingwall SP1 4-String Ducati White. Built to deliver vintage warmth, balanced resonance and superior playability, this instrument pairs a comfortable lightweight alder body with a bolt-on single-piece maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The sleek matte Ducati Pearl White finish and transparent scratchplate give the SP1 a refined, stage-ready look that stands out without being aggressive — perfect for both studio sessions and live shows.
The SP1 embraces a multi-scale (fanned-fret) design, giving each string its own optimal scale length (ranging 32″–34.25″) to ensure consistent tension and even responsiveness across the neck. This enhanced string balance results in tight, articulate lows and smooth, playable highs — delivering a feel and performance level that traditional fixed-scale basses often can’t match.
Tonally, the SP1 opts for a classic, passive PJ configuration with a split-coil neck pickup and a humbucking bridge pickup. With a 4-position Quad-Tone rotary selector plus master volume and tone, you get a versatile palette: deep and punchy P-bass tones, fat growl for rock or funk, or cleaner, defined tones — all without needing active electronics. Rugged hardware like the Dingwall ‘Minimalist’ bridge, open-gear tuners, and Graphtech nut add to the reliability and stability, making this bass equally at home in rehearsal rooms, stages, and studios.
