Four-string multiscale Bass with first-class handling and flexible sound
With the Dingwall Combustion 4 3PU MN NA Natural, the Canadian company is sending a 4-string E-Bass in the typical multiscale design into the race. The four-string comes with a swamp ash body and a four-bolt "Medium Thin C" maple neck. Individual scale lengths for each string, increasing from 34" for the G to 36.25" for the E, also guarantee an extremely tight sound with precise tone reproduction even at low tunings. Three neodymium-armored Dingwall FD-3N pickups, which can be called up in different combinations via a rotary switch, and an active EMG 3-band tone control furthermore promise extremely flexible sounds for almost any genre. Indestructible Hardware in the form of Hipshot/Dingwall single bridges and Hipshot/Dingwall Ultralite tuners complete the Combustion 4-String 3PU MN NA Natural Bass from Dingwall.
Thanks to the modern multiscale design, the Dingwall Combustion 4 3PU MN Natural also reproduces low tones with absolute precision.
Four screws connect the swamp ash body and the comfortable maple neck of the Dingwall Combustion Bass.
Multiscale construction for a tight sound image
The Dingwall Combustion 4 naturally comes in modern multiscale construction, the unmistakable feature of the Canadian company. Each string of the 4-string Bass has an optimally matched length between 34" (864 mm) for the G and 36.25" (921 mm) for the low E, guaranteeing a precise and tight sound. In addition to the swamp ash body, which is perfectly balanced both standing up and sitting down, Dingwall relies on a bolt-on, five-piece maple neck, whose pleasantly slim "Medium Thin C" profile allows every groove to come out of the fingers with ease.
Dingwall FD-3N neodymium pickups selectable via a rotary switch and an active EMG tone control provide versatile timbres
Three pickups and active EQ for multi-faceted bass sounds
On the bass amplifier, the Combustion 4 3PU E-Bass turns out to be a true all-rounder that is no stranger to any musical genre. The Dingwall FD-3N pickups, which are equipped with powerful neodymium magnets, promise smooth bass sounds with a well-measured aggressiveness and punch, even in the densest Mix. A 4-way rotary switch calls up the three pickups in different combinations so that the four-string comes up with both traditional and modern tones, which can be precisely adjusted to your own preferences with the help of EMG's active 3-band equalizer. Thanks to the mini switch above the potentiometers, the electric bass guitar can also be played in classic passive mode.
Lightweight Hipshot/Dingwall tuners guarantee precise and stable tuning of the four-string Combustion Bass.
Indestructible hardware equipment
The Combustion 4-String 3PU MN NA Natural Multiscale Bass from Dingwall is completed by high-quality and perfectly coordinated hardware equipment. The four Hipshot/Dingwall single bridges on the body not only support the tight sound character of the bass guitar but also guarantee optimum adjustment of the intonation and height of each string. On the minimalist headstock, the strings are also guided with a straight pull to the Hipshot/Dingwall Ultralite tuners, which keep the Bass securely in tune and counteract unwanted neck dives thanks to their low weight.
