While the bass comes with several options, this particular version is a four-string with a 35-inch scale featuring a swamp ash body topped with Engelmann Spruce and Rosewood laminates. <\/p>\n<p>Its ash neck also has rosewood and purpleheart accents, while the two-tone Camatillo fingerboard is fitted with offset dot inlays. Nichols also put Luminlay side dots in the neck for better visibility on dark stages. <\/p>\n<p>The bass is loaded with a pair of Aguilar DCB pickups matched to a Darkglass preamp. Other features include Dunlop recessed strap locks, Hipshot hardware, and a satin lacquer finish. <\/p>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Nichols-Guitar-Company-Dylan-Bass-Body.jpeg?fit=699%2C466&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Nichols-Guitar-Company-Dylan-Bass-Body-Back.jpeg?fit=641%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Nichols-Guitar-Company-Dylan-Bass-Back.jpeg?fit=699%2C466&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Nichols-Guitar-Company-Dylan-Bass-Headstock.jpeg?fit=699%2C466&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Nichols-Guitar-Company-Dylan-Bass-Back-of-Headstock.jpeg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we\u2019re checking out the Dylan model by Nichols Guitar Company out of Phoenix, Arizona.
