Dingwall Amos Williams Combustion 4-String Bass Matte Natural

Weight: 8.9 lbs 

Renowned for his groundbreaking bass work with UK progressive metal pioneers TesseracT, the Amos Williams Signature model brings a host of performance-driven features to the Ready to Play artist lineup. The 4-string version features Dingwall’s signature 34.75–37″ multi-scale design and comes factory tuned to BEAD for extended low-end range.

Reflecting Amos’ commitment to reducing waste, each bass is built using carefully selected body off-cuts that would otherwise be too small to create a full instrument. This sustainable approach ensures that every bass is truly one of a kind, with its own distinctive grain pattern and visual character.

Built on the proven Combustion platform, the body is primarily alder with laminated stripes of flame maple, rosewood, and mahogany. Available in both 4- and 5-string configurations, each model features Dingwall’s signature multi-scale design with a 37″ scale length on the low B, making it ideal for modern progressive music and extended-range playing. The bolt-on five-piece maple neck is reinforced with carbon fibre for enhanced stability, while its slim C profile ensures a fast, comfortable playing experience. A Pau Ferro fingerboard with 24 frets completes the package, working alongside Dingwall’s existing multi-scale system to deliver balanced string tension, improved intonation, and exceptional articulation across every string.

After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
