This beautiful Dingwall D-ROC Standard 4-String will certainly get you noticed with its Aquamarine Metalflake finish.
The D-ROC Standard is a cost-effective modified version of this classic design using a mahogany body with smoked nickel Hipshot/Dingwall hardware.
The frets of the D-ROC (and all Dingwall Basses) are fanned to allow for a longer scale on the bass side and a shorter scale on the treble side of the instrument, optimizing the scale length and intonation of each string individually.
Why Fan-Frets you ask?:
PLEASE NOTE: While the D-ROC Standard model is manufactured in China to Dingwall's exacting specs, when they arrive to their factory in Canada each bass goes through a rigorous two hour quality check including all the electronics, fret leveling and final setup. These basses don't leave the Canadian shop until they are up to Dingwall's high standards.

Why Fan-Frets you ask?:
- No longer will the B-string sound darker and less distinct compared to the other strings.
- The G-string retains warmth and normal tension compared to extending the scale of all strings.
- You will no longer have to adjust your attack depending on which string is being played due to the more even tension from string to string.
- You will no longer find the tone adjustments for one string interfering with another due to the more even tone across the strings.
- You will no longer be unheard and ignored by your audience due to the combination of the longer scale low strings and the even tonality across all the strings.
