When it comes to value for money, Dingwall's Combustion series really stands out. With components and materials from North America and manufacturing in China, these instruments form an unbeatable combination. To ensure the quality Dingwall is known for, the instruments are shipped to Canada after production for final setup and inspection.
The Combustion basses feature a 2- or 3-piece swamp ash body, a 5-piece maple neck and are fitted with 2 or 3 FD-3N pickups. These pickups are produced exactly to Dingwall's specifications and, thanks to the use of neodymium magnets, deliver a high output with a smooth yet aggressive tone. The pickups are selected and adjusted via a set of rotary controls. In addition to the usual volume and treble knobs, the controls include an active 3-band EQ and an Active/Passive switch.
Nothing was left to chance with the hardware either. The Combustion series comes fitted with ultra-light tuners whose mounting bushing matches those of Gotoh and Hipshot tuners, making later upgrades much easier. The bridge is an integrated bridge/saddle system further optimised by a custom riser system.
The Combustion basses are not only available as 4-string models; there are lovingly crafted 5-string and 6-string versions as well. Customers can also choose from eight different but consistently high-quality finishes.

You want to buy a bass with more than the usual four strings or are you looking for a rather unusually designed instrument? Then the bass guitars from the Canadian maker Dingwall Designer Guitars are definitely worth a look.
One special feature of these basses is the use of fanned-fret construction (fanned frets). The frets are set into the fretboard so that the scale length of the low strings is longer than that of the high strings. This gives the low strings more sustain and a tone that is more pitch-accurate.
In addition, Dingwall specialises in the production of 5- and even 6-string basses – an absolute must for fans of extended-range instruments.
Alongside absolute high-end basses like the Dingwall Afterburner or the Dingwall D-Roc Custom 5 String Gold, you'll also find many models from the affordable Combustion series with us. Here, North American woods and components are sent to China for assembly and further processing. Final setup and inspection are then carried out again at Dingwall's main headquarters in Saskatoon, Canada.
Because of the different scale lengths, special strings are required, which are also manufactured by Dingwall. If you're curious about the multiscale electric basses now, we warmly invite you to try them out and take one straight away at our stores in Frankfurt and Walldorf. Of course, you can also order the instruments and bass strings conveniently from our webshop for home delivery.
