The headstock sports a “Rio-inspired” graphic which complements the body stripes, designed by longtime Duran Duran collaborator, Patty Palazzo. The customary Dingwall fanned-fret system facilitates the most appropriate scale length for each individual string. It’s a concept that’s applied across the entire Dingwall range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This arrangement varies the strings’ scale length, meaning that the low B string benefits from maximum tension and feels great to play, with none of the dull-sounding flopping around that you get from a regular-scale 5-string.” Bass Player Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickups and Electronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe three Dingwall neodymium pickups are wired to a Quad-Tone pickup selector, a master volume, master tone and a 2-band active EQ that’s powered by a top-quality Rupert Neve Designs preamp. “Duran’s breakthrough single, the title track from 1982’s Rio, was originally recorded on a Neve console, so the history was already there,” says Sheldon. “But the team at Rupert Neve Designs absolutely nailed the tone.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe master tone control will serve perfectly well if you’re in passive mode, but if you’re interested in Taylor’s tones you’ll stay in active mode, where the two-band boost and cut gives you an abundance of sonic options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"s9\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003eJT Signature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis fitted with an equally impressive accompaniment of hardware, including lightweight tuners and Dingwall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s8\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003es\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s8\"\u003e‘\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003eMinimalist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s8\"\u003e’\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003ebridge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003ence you discover that the magnetic battery cover on the rear flips on and off with zero effort, you\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003ell wonder how you ever had the patience to unscrew the compartment cover on your o\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003eld\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003einstruments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s7\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"s3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eve been Dingwall fans since day one.
