Dingwall Rob VDL Signature D-Roc Custom 5 String Bass Matte Candy Pearl Wild Cherry
Weight: 8.9 lbs
DESCRIPTION
Built for Guitar Summit 2025!
Designed in collaboration with Epica bassist Rob van Der Loo, the latest addition to the Dingwall Custom Shop artist roster truly embodies the personality and stylistic range of the player who helped design it. A tone machine on steroids, it comes fitted with an onboard distortion circuit, so there’s no need for pedals, effect modeling, or bass amp tinkering – it can be made to rip into any band mix with the turn of a control. Other features include a sleek D-Roc body and a carved top that creates the illusion of anodised aluminium.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
