Dingwall Combustion 4 in Vintageburst with Quilt Maple Top

This beautiful Dingwall Combustion 4-string Bass is in their Vintageburst finish, with figured Quilt Maple Top.

The Combustion Series is a break-through in terms of performance per dollar. By combining North American sourced materials and components with Chinese manufacturing Dingwall is now able to offer many of their tonal and performance advantages 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 frets of the Combustion (and all Dingwall Basses) are fanned to allow for a longer scale on the bass side and a shorter scale on the treble side of the instrument, optimizing the scale length and intonation of each string individually.

Why Fan-Frets you ask?:

• No longer will the B-string sound darker and less distinct compared to the other strings.
• The G-string retains warmth and normal tension compared to extending the scale of all strings.
• You will no longer have to adjust your attack depending on which string is being played due to the more even tension from string to string.
• You will no longer find the tone adjustments for one string interfering with another due to the more even tone across the strings.
• You will no longer be unheard and ignored by your audience due to the combination of the longer scale low strings and the even tonality across all the strings.
