John Taylor with Dingwall John Taylor Rio Dream electric bass in lifestyle pose

John Taylor, bassist for the British band Duran Duran, shaped the early rock, synth-pop and new wave scene in the 1980s.

John Taylor Rio Dream with elegant custom finish

Dingwall is launching the John Taylor Rio Dream E-Bass, a limited edition of the John Taylor model, which comes in an elegant custom finish based on the Rio album cover of the British band Duran Duran and is intended to embody the stylistic range of the icons. John Taylor made his mark on the international music scene as Duran Duran's bassist in the late 1970s/80s, particularly with their 1982 platinum album "Rio". The band shaped the early musical landscape with a stylistic range that moved between pop, rock and synth pop, paving the way for the New Wave genre. Celebrate the golden era of the 80s with the John Taylor Rio Dream and convince yourself of the high-quality workmanship from Dingwall.

Multiscale electric bass with FD3N pickups and active 2-band EQ

The John Taylor Rio Dream E-Bass not only looks good, but also impresses with its high-quality workmanship and hardware. The Nyatoh body is complemented by a five-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard, which is fitted with 24 banjo-sized frets and comes with a scale length of 34" - 36.25". At the heart of the John Taylor Rio Dream are three FD3n pickups, which deliver a crisp sound and are directly linked to the quad-tone pickup control, with which a total of four positions can be controlled:

1: Bridge Solo
2: Bridge/Middle Series
3: Bridge/Neck Parallel
4: Neck Solo

Rupert Neve Design circuitry and high-quality hardware

In addition, the pickups are wired directly to the master volume and master tone controls as well as the active 2-band EQ, which is fed by the Rupert Neve Design circuitry. Furthermore, the E-Bass is equipped with a "Minimalist" custom Dingwall 1-piece recessed bridge and lightweight Hipshot tuners. Overall, Dingwall's multiscale design is innovative and, with its different scale lengths, offers plenty of room for a wide range of tones, allowing low tunings and high-pitched notes to be played cleanly and without the risk of sounding muddy. The combination of high-quality hardware, comfortable handling and innovative multiscale design make the John Taylor Rio Dream E-Bass a high-quality instrument that not only praises John Taylor and Duran Duran's successful album "Rio", but also combines modern instrument standards and practical use.
