Description
Accessories Included: Padded gigbag
The Combustion succeeds in providing the ultimate combination of tone, performance and value, making it perfect for both stage and studio work. By combining North American sourced materials and components with Chinese manufacturing, Dingwall tone and performance advantages come at an extremely affordable price. Final setup and inspection is done in the Dingwall shop in Canada so you know the basses will play great right out of the box.
The body is swamp ash and modelled on Dingwall's Custom Shop Afterburner. It's compact and lightweight, making for a bass that's comfortable to wear and beautifully balanced. The five-piece maple neck is securely attached via four bolts, and the fingerboard employs Ralph Novak's fanned-fret system and a 34 to 37-inch scale spread (the scale length of the B-string is three inches longer than the G), with a 240mm fretboard radius, making it superfast over a full two octaves.
The Combustion comes fitted with Dingwall FD3n pickups that are made to exacting specifications using neodymium magnets, which offer both high output and a smooth, but aggressive tone. They're wired to a 3-band preamp, along with a 4-position Quad-tone pickup selector, master volume and an active/passive toggle switch.
