Dingwall Custom Shop Z3 5 String Buckeye Burl 2023

Dingwall basses from Canada are known worldwide for their progressive design, uncompromising build quality, and phenomenal sound.

Founded by Sheldon Dingwall in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the brand combines high-end craftsmanship with innovative technologies such as the fanned-fret system and multiscale construction. This results in a tighter, more defined tone and improved playability across the entire range of the bass. For the bassist seeking precision in the studio or that extra punch on stage, Dingwall delivers an instrument optimized for performance down to the smallest detail.

What sets Dingwall apart is the balance between tradition and progress. Every bass is designed with the musician in mind: lightweight, ergonomic, and perfectly balanced. Thanks to carefully selected woods, custom pickups, and innovative electronics, Dingwall basses offer not only a recognizable, modern sound but also an extremely responsive playing experience. From rock to metal and funk to fusion: these basses feel at home in any setting.

The Z3X is one of Dingwall's most advanced models: a high-performance machine for the demanding bassist. This five-string powerhouse features a striking, aggressive design and three custom neodymium pickups for maximum tonal capabilities. Thanks to the active/passive Darkglass electronics and mid-frequency control, you can effortlessly switch between deep, hi-fi clean tones and brutal grind that cuts through the mix. The Z3X is built for speed, precision, and power; an absolute top model for the modern bassist who refuses to compromise.

This ZX3 features a fascinating Burl Maple top on a Walnut body. The five-piece maple neck has an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays, and the Dingwall logo on the 12th fret is a fine detail here. The matching headstock completes the picture! The bass was built in 2023 and is virtually indistinguishable from a new one. Comes with a TFOA passport in a deluxe gig bag.
