Dingwall Guitars Jacob Umansky SOL Signature 6-String Bass with Gigbag

Description
Body & Neck
The alder body has a bookmatched ash top and takes its lead from Umansky's existing Custom Shop Z3, albeit with a modified body outline that's been specially shaped to his own specification. The control knobs have also been repositioned, making fast-paced slap techniques that bit easier to deliver. Oh, and the matte white/black ceruse finish is incredible.
The bolt-on neck is hard rock maple, intended to be more robust for Jacob's rapid-fire technique. It's reinforced with carbon fibre, which helps keep any unwanted neck movement to a minimum. The multi-scale wenge fingerboard also keeps the bottom end tight, the top end clear, plus it helps with intonation and comfort.
Pickups & Electronics
With a Darkglass Electronics Tone Capsule wired to three Dingwall FDV pickups, the Jacob Umansky Signature can perform heavy rock of all eras. The switching is all very state-of-the-art, with a push/pull active passive switch, a 4-position rotary pickup selector, a 3-band active EQ and enough firepower to add serious weight to any bass riff.
Given that Interval's increasingly progressive sound makes all sorts of demands on Umansky's bass gear, his Dingwall signature model is, essentially, a masterclass in everything that is good about cutting-edge bass design. Plus it was mapped-out alongside the man himself, so you've got that seal of approval.
Hardware
With a Darkglass Tone Capsule wired to three Dingwall FDV pickups, the "Sol" Signature can perform heavy rock of all eras. The switching is all state-of-the-art as well, with a push/pull active passive switch, a 4-position rotary pickup selector, a 3-band active EQ and enough firepower to add serious weight to any bass riff.
Thanks to the Graphtech nut and lightweight open-gear Hipshot tuners, you're guaranteed maximum resonance at lower tunings and dependable stability courtesy of the Dingwall minimalist bridge, which is ideal for aspiring bassists who don't yet want to worry about spending time adjusting their intonation. Extra touches include a recessed jack socket and the easily removed magnetic plate covering the battery cavity.
"It's more than just an instrument to me. It's a reflection of how I play and who I am as a musician. Each time I pick it up, whether on stage or in the studio, it pushes me to explore new ideas. The Sol has been mine for the last three years...and now it's yours. I can't wait to see what you do with it." Jacob Umansky.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
