5-string E-Bass from Dingwall
With the Dingwall Combustion 5 3PU MN Blackburst Gloss, the Canadian company is sending a 5-string E-Bass in the typical multiscale design into the race. Finished in timeless blackburst, the five-string comes with an elegant quilt top, 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 37" for the B, 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 using 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 Dingwall single bridges and Hipshot Ultralite tuners complete the Dingwall Combustion 5 3PU MN Blackburst Gloss.
Thanks to its multiscale construction, the Dingwall Combustion 5 3PU PF BB 2 Tone Blackburst Gloss also accurately reproduces low tones.
In addition to the swamp ash body, the Dingwall Combustion has a bolt-on, three-piece maple neck with a comfortable profile.
Multiscale construction for a tight sound image
The Dingwall Combustion 54 Bass naturally comes in modern multiscale construction, the unmistakable feature of the Canadian company. Each string of the 5-string Bass has an optimally tuned length, from 34" (864 mm) for the G to 37" (940 mm) for the low B, so that a precise and tight sound is guaranteed. Furthermore, Dingwall relies on a swamp ash body with a chic cloud maple top, which has an optimal balance both on the strap and on the thigh, and a bolt-on three-piece maple neck, whose slim medium thin C profile lets every groove come out of the fingers with ease.
Managed via a 4-way switch, three Dingwall FD-3N pickups deliver particularly versatile timbres.
Three pickups and active EQ for multi-faceted bass sounds
On the bass amplifier, the Combustion 5 3PU PF BB 2 Tone Blackburst Gloss turns out to be a true all-rounder that is no stranger to any musical genre. The Dingwall FD-3N pickups with neodymium magnets promise smooth bass sounds with the right amount of aggression. A 4-way rotary switch calls up the three pickups in different combinations, so that the five-string comes up with classic and modern timbres. Last but not least, EMG's active 3-band tone control allows you to tune your personal bass sound.
Lightweight Hipshot tuners on the headstock of the Dingwall Combustion guarantee a stable tuning.
Indestructible hardware equipment
The Dingwall Combustion 5 3PU PF BB 2 Tone Blackburst Gloss is completed by high-quality hardware perfectly matched to the E-Bass. Accordingly, five Dingwall single bridges on the body guarantee optimum adjustment of the intonation and height of each string. On the compact headstock, the strings are also guided with a straight pull to the Hipshot Ultralite tuners, which not only guarantee an exact and stable Tuning, but also prevent unwanted neck dive thanks to their low weight.
