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.
