White Dove
Left-handed

Your side of the story.

A left-handed short scale electro acoustic bass with a shape and a character of its own.

This left-handed White Dove takes the rounded outline of an acoustic bass and gives it a more individual expression. The sweeping cutaway, open dove-shaped soundhole and sculpted headstock draw the eye; gloss white, dark composite wood and warm maple edges bring the details together.

Behind that distinctive appearance is a four-string instrument with a 30-inch scale and onboard EQ and tuning. A premium hard case completes the instrument and case pairing.

01 · Form and finish

A dove at the centre of the design

The bird is more than a motif on the surface. Its outline forms the soundhole itself, opening through the white spruce top to the interior of the bass. The same idea returns in the mother-of-pearl fretboard inlays and the recessed detail of the aluminium truss rod cover.

Roasted-maple binding traces the body and fretboard, bringing a natural contrast to the gloss-white finish. The single cutaway follows a clean, asymmetric line beside the upper frets.

02 · The playing format

Short scale, considered in detail

A 30-inch scale gives the White Dove its short scale format, paired with a 43 mm nut and 20 frets. The mahogany neck has a C-shaped profile, while the black composite-wood fretboard has a 16-inch radius and roasted-maple binding.

The details continue along its edge: 3 mm nickel-alloy fretwire has rounded ends, and luminous side position markers complement the dove inlays. Inside the neck, two carbon fibre reinforcement rods sit alongside a dual-action truss rod.

At the body, a dovetail neck joint and chrome heel strap button sit beside the natural maple edging. The body measures 80 mm deep.

Lume inlay · Luminous side markers

Find your place when the lights dim

The White Dove’s luminous side dots give you a clear point of reference along the edge of the fretboard, where you can glance at them while playing. In a dim rehearsal room or on a darker stage, they help you find your position and judge a move up the neck. They complement the mother-of-pearl doves on the fretboard face, adding a practical guide on the side closest to your playing view.

Luminous side markers provide a position reference in low light.

A little light before you play

Before playing in low light, shine a phone torch or a torch along the fretboard edge so that each dot receives light. Check the markers from your usual playing position. If their glow becomes harder to see, give them more light to refresh it. It is a simple way to keep your reference points visible without lighting the whole room.

Small details, carefully finished

Accurate positioning, clean edges and careful finishing all matter when a detail is this small. Our White Dove development work also explores a fine black surround for the luminous centre, designed to make the pale dot easier to distinguish in daylight while retaining its glow in dim conditions.

03 · Beneath the surface

Construction with a purpose

Beneath the white finish, the White Dove uses openwork body bracing and a reinforced mahogany neck. The bracing is designed to give its soundboard the support it needs while keeping the framework light. Its openings are part of the structure’s approach to weight and vibration, rather than a decorative detail.

Less brace mass, considered support

An acoustic bass soundboard carries the pull of the strings through the bridge, but it also needs to move to produce sound. The braces help manage that balance by supporting the top and shaping the way it vibrates.

Removing selected areas of wood reduces brace mass compared with an otherwise identical unperforated brace. That means less material is attached to the vibrating top. The aim is to avoid unnecessary weight while retaining a supporting framework, helping the soundboard respond to energy coming from the strings.

Brace shape, placement and mass work together with the top to determine its response. The range illustration below introduces the openwork principle.

Twin carbon fibre neck reinforcement

Built to last

Lindo instruments find homes around the world, from Alaska to Singapore. For the White Dove, that makes neck stability an important part of the design. Temperature and humidity can change between climates, seasons and even the rooms where an instrument is played and stored. Wood responds to its surroundings, and a small change in neck curvature can affect string clearance and the feel of the action.

Two carbon fibre reinforcement rods run within the White Dove’s mahogany neck, alongside its dual-action truss rod. Carbon fibre adds stiffness with little extra weight, helping the neck resist unwanted bending and twisting. This paired reinforcement gives the neck additional structural support, with the aim of maintaining a consistent playing feel as temperature and humidity change.

The carbon fibre rods provide reinforcement; the truss rod remains the adjustable part of the system. It allows neck relief, the slight curve that gives vibrating strings clearance above the frets, to be adjusted in either direction when a setup is needed. Together, they bring stability and adjustability to a part of the instrument that matters every time you play.

Long-term stability also benefits from thoughtful care: use the included hard case when storing the bass, avoid extremes of temperature and humidity, and allow it to acclimatise after travel. The Lindo-range assembly image below shows the central truss-rod area and side channels before the fretboard is fitted.

Four black bridge pins with coloured shell centres and the shaped composite-wood bridge.

04 · Strings and bridge

The bridge, saddle and strings

The White Dove is fitted with four bass strings in .045–.105 gauges, arranged across its 30-inch scale.

Four black bridge pins with coloured shell centres sit across the black composite-wood bridge. Its open, wing-like form echoes the soundhole above, with a 75 mm graphite saddle completing the assembly.

Spruce is used for the top, with sapele for the back and sides. The interior uses openwork bracing, while the same gloss-white finish carries around the back of the instrument.

05 · From nut to headstock

The same character, all the way up

The headstock continues the body’s flowing outline, white finish and natural-coloured edge. Four chrome tuning machines use an 18:1 ratio; their gold-coloured Lindo rear covers add a small, warm detail against the white.

A 43 mm high-density synthetic nut sits below the aluminium truss rod cover. The recessed dove in the cover brings the design back to the bird at the centre of the body, while a volute is formed into the rear of the headstock.

06 · Onboard electronics

Your controls, close at hand

The side-mounted F-4T panel brings together four bands of EQ, master volume and a digital tuner. Separate bass, middle, treble and presence sliders let you adjust the amplified sound from the instrument.

The tuner display is built into the same panel, keeping tuning and sound adjustments in one place. Jack and XLR output sockets are housed together at the base of the body, alongside the chrome base strap button.

07 · A case of its own

Premium hard case included

The White Dove is supplied with its own premium hard case. A black textured exterior, stitched edges and brass-coloured fittings give it a restrained finish alongside the white instrument.

Open the lid and the contrast changes to cream plush lining, shaped around the bass. A covered storage compartment sits within the interior, while the carry handle and Lindo badge complete the outside.

The case is part of the product offered here, rather than an optional extra.

Lindo Left Handed Neptune V3 Short Scale Matte Black Electro Acoustic Bass Guitar & Premium Hard Case

A left-handed low-end story

THE LOW END,
WITHIN REACH.

The Neptune V3 begins with a simple thought: a left-handed bass should feel like it was waiting for your hands all along. Its 30-inch short scale keeps the first position closer, while the familiar acoustic body brings the low notes into the room with an unhurried, welcoming voice.

In matte black, it does not need to ask for attention. The offset soundhole, gentle cutaway and quiet silhouette allow the details to appear at their own pace—one line, one note, one evening at a time.

The first chapter

A bass that meets your hand where it is.

Short scale is not about making the instrument feel smaller in spirit. It is about making the route between thoughts and notes feel more immediate. With its 30-inch scale, the Neptune V3 gives the left hand a more compact stretch, while the slim C-shape mahogany neck keeps the journey calm and familiar.

The 42 mm ABS nut, 20 frets and two-way truss rod form the practical foundation beneath that easy first impression. It is a bass for beginning a line, returning to one, and staying with it a little longer.

Made for the player, not just the picture. The short scale, cutaway and left-handed layout are here to make everyday playing feel considered from the first note.

The Neptune bass in its natural setting: close, calm and ready to speak.

The route begins above

Quiet precision at the headstock.

Every journey up the neck begins at the machine heads. The Neptune V3 uses chrome-finished alloy tuners with a 19:1 gear ratio, giving fine movements a measured response when it is time to tune before a rehearsal, a recording or a late-night session.

They sit at the start of an instrument designed with restraint: matte black surfaces, clean hardware and a headstock that feels purposeful rather than loud.

A different silhouette

The soundhole steps aside. The bass steps forward.

The Neptune’s offset soundhole gives the top its unmistakable pause. It lets the familiar acoustic-bass outline become something more personal, while the spruce laminate top and sapele back and sides give the instrument its wood-and-air foundation.

Inside, laser-cut hollow bracing reduces internal mass so the soundboard can move more freely. The result is an acoustic construction with room for resonance, response and the small harmonic details that keep a bass line alive.

The Neptune’s offset soundhole: a deliberate line in a familiar form.

Details that wait to be found

Small landmarks on a long, dark road.

The ebony-effect composite-wood fretboard and bridge give the Neptune its dark, composed surface. At the 12th fret, the mother-of-pearl Planet Core inlay offers a quiet centre point; at the bridge, the same material story continues with clean, practical purpose.

When the room grows darker

A clear sign when the lights go low.

The luminous side dots are a small detail with a useful job. Charge them with a phone light or torch and they offer a visible reference along the edge of the fretboard when the room, rehearsal space or stage is not at its brightest.

It is not a dramatic gesture. It is one of those quiet practical choices that lets the player keep their attention on the music.

The voice beyond the room

Shape the low end. Then choose where it goes.

The integrated F-4T Bass preamp brings an onboard chromatic tuner, master volume and four-band EQ—bass, middle, treble and presence—into a single, straightforward control point. The under-saddle piezoelectric pickup carries the Neptune from its acoustic voice to an amplifier, audio interface or mixing desk when the moment asks for more.

A practical choice of exits. Stay simple with a jack lead, or use the balanced XLR output for a direct connection to a mixing desk or audio interface.

The unseen chapter

Built from the inside out.

The most important parts of an acoustic instrument are not always the most visible. The Neptune V3’s internal bracing, spruce top and sapele body work together behind the matte-black finish, letting the soundboard do the work it was made to do.

The result is a thoughtful platform for the player who wants a bass with character in the hands and a clear path into amplified performance when needed.

Protection,
with character.

A hard exterior helps guard against everyday knocks and surface contact during storage and careful transport. Inside, the soft white plush lining provides a gentle contact surface around the instrument when it is put away.

The warm brown finish and pale stitching bring a classic contrast to the Neptune's matte-black design. It gives the practical task of putting the bass away a little of the character found in the instrument itself.

Practical details.

Bronze-tone latches sit against the textured brown exterior, with metal feet creating contact points when the case is set down. The close-up brings those small fittings and the stitched edging into view.

The carry handle provides a convenient grip for moving the bass in its case between home, rehearsal and the next performance. Close the lid and fasten the latches before lifting it, so the instrument and its case travel together.

Small essentials,
kept together.

A compartment beneath the lift-up lid gives small accessories a place of their own. Keep suitable items such as picks, a cloth or spare strings together, so they are easy to find when you open the case.

The fabric pull tab makes the compartment easy to open, while the lid keeps the storage area tidy when closed. The guitar string pack in the photograph illustrates the space only; it is not an additional included accessory.
