Dingwall 5-String Combustion - Indigo Burst Ash w/ Maple fingerboard

Sheldon Dingwall has created the "Combustion" group of basses, to deliver the signature tone, playability, and other performance advantages that Dingwall is famous for, at the best possible price.

These basses are Made In China! Before you run away, cursing - hear us out...
Dingwall sources and selects all the materials - the woods, the pickups, the electronics, and the hardware - in North America, and ships them to a state-of- the-art Chinese factory, where they use "CNC" (computer-controlled) machinery to create the finished wood-work. Craftsmen at Dingwall check the final assembly, mill the frets, and perform all the set-up details, on every instrument. This manufacturing-process saves so much cost, that your cost is less than half the price of a Canadian-made "real" Dingwall. In our eyes, that"s one hell of a bargain.

This bass, with its Maple fingerboard and transparent IndigoBurst Ash body, evokes the look of traditional basses from the '70s and '80s - but with the superior Dingwall performance. All the Combustion basses use a special four-position rotary pickup-selector switch (instead of the usual "blend" control) - this design provides an extra, "series" setting, which provides a dramatic increase in output, and a strong midrange-boost to the tone.

This instruments boasts remarkable construction details:

• Five-piece Quartersawn Canadian Maple neck
• Solid light Ash body
• Genuine Dingwall FD-3N pickups
• Active EQ circuitry by EMG
• Hipshot-designed tuners
• Individual "single-string" bridges for natural, "woody" tone

Using the Novax "fanned-fret" multi-scale design, these instruments offer the same superb low-frequency punch, clarity, and superior tuning-accuracy that Dingwall has brought to the electric-bass world for decades. The combination of this breakthrough innovation, along with custom-designed pickups, electronics and hardware, produces a level of performance that has to be heard, to be believed.

Across their entire product line, Dingwall offers innovative, tested, developments that reject the usual, "good-enough" engineering that the rest of the industry accepts. As an example, just look at their battery compartment! The rest of the industry uses either a cheap, fragile, "pop open" plastic battery-box, or an "old-school" cover-plate that requires a screwdriver to access the batteries. Instead, Dingwall's unique design uses a durable "magnetic" cover that never "lets go", but can be opened in seconds - without any tools. You will find similar "obsessive" engineering on a Dingwall, everywhere you look.

The RB Aero and Continental Voyager bass cases two of the finest available, at any price. We have seen these cases come back, after touring the world—they may be beaten up, but they are still solid as a rock, and are still protecting their "precious cargo". That is why we sell our Dingwall basses in these cases — we care about the instruments that we sell, and we hope you do, too.
