With the Dingwall Combustion 5 3PU MN Ultra Vintageburst the Canadian company sends a 5-string electric bass in the typical multiscale design into the race. Finished in chic vintage
The Dingwall Combustion comes naturally in modern multiscale construction, the unmistakable characteristic of the Canadian company. Each string of the 5-string bass has an optimally tuned length, from 34" (864 mm) at the G to 37" (940 mm) at the low B, so that a precise and tight sound is guaranteed. Furthermore, Dingwall relies on a swamp ash body with a chic curly maple top, which has an optimal balance on the strap as well as 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.
At the bass amp, the Combustion 5 3PU MN Vintageburst turns out to be a true all-rounder, to which no musical genre is alien. The neodymium magnet Dingwall FD-3N pickups promise smooth bass sounds with the right amount of aggressiveness. A 4-way rotary switch calls up the three pickups in different combinations, so that the five-stringer comes up with classic and modern tones. Last but not least, EMG's active 3-band tone control allows you to tune your personal bass sound.
A high-quality hardware equipment perfectly adapted to the electric bass completes the Dingwall Combustion 5 3PU MN Vintageburst bass guitar. Five Dingwall single bridges on the body guarantee an optimal 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 precise and stable tuning, but also prevent unwanted neck dive due to their low weight.
