Designed in collaboration with legendary Duran Duran bassist John Taylor, the JT3-4 Signature Combustion combines Dingwall's acclaimed multi-scale design with distinctive signature styling and a versatile Rupert Neve-designed preamp. The result is a modern performance bass with exceptional clarity, articulation, and punch.
Finished in stunning Metallic Black with mint and coral racing stripes, this JT3-4 makes an immediate visual statement. The lightweight Nyatoh body is paired with a five-piece maple neck featuring carbon fiber reinforcement for outstanding stability, while the 34"–36.25" fanned-fret scale provides tight, piano-like low-end response and excellent string-to-string balance.
Three Dingwall FD3n pickups deliver a wide range of tones, from vintage-inspired warmth to modern hi-fi clarity. The Rupert Neve Designs 2-band active preamp adds musical bass and treble shaping, while an active/passive switch provides additional flexibility for studio, stage, and session work.

The JT3-4 offers everything players love about the Combustion platform, but with unique John Taylor styling and a carefully voiced electronics package.
