When it comes to price- power , the Combustion series from Dingwall particularly stands out. With components and materials from North America and manufacture in China, these instruments form an unbeatable combination. In order to ensure the quality for which Dingwall is known, the instruments are sent to Canada after production where they are finally adjusted and checked.
The basses of the Combustion series consist of a 2 or 3-piece body made of swamp ash, a 5-piece maple neck and are equipped with 2 or 3 FD-3N pickups. These pickups are produced exactly according to Dingwall 's specifications and, thanks to the use of neodymium magnets, deliver a high output with a smooth but aggressive tone. The pickups are selected and adjusted via a collection of knobs. In addition to the usual volume and treble controls, the setting options also include an active 3-band EQ and an active/passive switches.
Nothing was left to chance when it came to the hardware either. The Combustion series uses extra-light tuner whose bore correspond to those of Gotoh and Hipshot tuners, making subsequent upgrades much easier. The bridge is an existing bridge/saddle system that has been further optimized with a custom riser system .
The basses in the Combustion series are not only available as 4-strings, there are both 5-string and 6-string versions of the lovingly crafted instruments. In addition, customers can choose from eight different but always high-quality finishes.

- great price-performance ratio

Dingwall
Would you like to buy a bass with more than the usual four strings or are you looking for a more unusually constructed instrument? Then the bass guitars from the Canadian manufacturer Dingwall Designer Guitars are definitely worth a look.
A special features of these basses is the use of the fanned-frets construction (fanned frets). The frets are embedded in the fretboard in such a way that the scale length of the low strings is longer than that of the high ones. This means that the low strings gain more sustain and the tone is more “accurate”.
In addition, Dingwall has specialized in the production of 5 and even 6-string basses, making them an absolute must for fans of extended range instruments.
In addition to absolute high-end basses such as the Dingwall Afterburner or the Dingwall D-Roc, you will also find many models from the inexpensive Combustion series . Here, North American wood and components are sent to China for assembly and further processing. The final adjustment and inspection is then carried out again at Dingwall headquarters in Saskatoon, Canada.
Due to the different length scales, special strings are also required, which are also manufactured by Dingwall . If you are now curious about the multiscale electric basses , we warmly invite you to test them out and take them with you to our branches in Frankfurt and Walldorf. Of course, you can also conveniently order the instruments and electric bass strings for your home directly here in the web shop.
