The long-awaited Dingwall KK3 5-string “Kyle Konkiel Signature Combustion” has arrived.

Based in Canada and with a history dating back to 1988, “Dingwall” is a brand founded by Sheldon Dingwall.

At the 1992 NAMM show, Sheldon Dingwall met Ralph Novax, the developer of the Fanned-Fret System—commonly known as the “multi-scale” system—and this encounter led to a dramatic evolution for the brand, bringing it to where it is today.

The Fanned-Fret System, which shook the electric bass industry, has captivated countless bassists with the beauty of its logical physical structure and the uniform tonal quality across each string provided by the fanned frets.

Ideal for down-tuning, this design is particularly popular among bassists who play loud rock and nu-metal.

Of course, that’s not all—it also improves the tension balance between strings, a common issue with multi-string basses, earning high praise from a wide range of musicians.

At first glance, the design might seem difficult to play; while the lower frets may feel slightly awkward initially, this becomes negligible once you get used to them.

Also, in my personal opinion, the higher frets actually feel easier to play, which explains why many jazz musicians—who frequently shift positions in the higher register—are avid users of this model.

This instrument is a new signature model in the “Combustion” series, achieving a quality on par with Custom Shop models by dividing the woodworking and assembly between the original Canadian factory and the Chinese factory.

It is a bass packed with the meticulous attention to detail of Kyle Konkiel, who is active in the metal music scene.

Although he previously released a signature model from the same Combustion series, he has returned with a significantly upgraded version this time.

It features a unique body shape paired with Alder Rose wood, FD3-N pickups, and the minimalist bridge introduced to the Combustion series last year. Up to this point, the specifications remain true to the classic design.

While his previous signature model was equipped with a Nordstrand preamp, this new version features an EMG preamp.

It strikes a balance between the power and clear tone characteristic of Dingwall. The preamp also offers an equalization that has a distinctly “active” character—in the best sense of the word—and leaves a very favorable impression.

Above all, the most noteworthy feature is the wide range of sound variations offered by the pickup selector.

By making full use of the 4-position selector and the switch located above the controls, you can select from a whopping 8 different pickup output configurations.

While the conventional Combustion models typically offered 4 pickup output options, I honestly sometimes felt they didn’t fully utilize the three pickups… However, this model makes full use of all three pickups, making it suitable for a wide range of musical genres.

While Dingwall is often associated with heavy music, this model hints at new possibilities.

Don’t miss this opportunity.
