What we say:
At A Glance:
Dingwall have long been the lauded experts on multi-scale bass instruments, and the Dingwall Combustion 3 Pickup 5 String bass takes Dingwall's decades of custom bass design experience and brings it to the masses.
The multi scale construction ensures maximum tonal and tuning accuracy right across the fretboard, while the powerful electronics and stunning build make it a dream to play for any style, from aggressive technical metal, to solid pocket grooves and tight pop lines.
Top drawer components like the individually mounted and adjustable saddles ensure maximum tonal transfer, while the lightweight body and comfortable neck makes long playing sessions a breeze.
Features We Love:
Multi Scale Fretboard
Extended range basses in particular benefit so much from the addition of the fanned fret, multi-scale system, and Dingwall are among the best in the game. The combination of the long scale low strings and shorter highs ensure consistent, comfortable string tension across the neck, and as a result, a solid surety of tone from the bottom to the top.
Electronics
Dingwall's stunning FD-3N pickups are custom designed, with a high output for maximum versatility with the punch for a smooth and aggressive tone when needed. Combined with the active EMG 3-Band EQ, as well as an active/passive bypass for a more laid back sound when required, this bass is supremely versatile and extremely powerful.
Dingwall Customised Hardware
Dingwall took a look at existing hardware on the market and adjusted their own designs to achieve something they truly approved of for this bass. The Open Back Tuners are seriously lightweight while extremely reliable with superbly smooth function for precise tuning. The bridge features an individual mounting for each string to minimise interference from one string to the next, while the highly adjustable saddles ensure maximum precision in action and intonation.
