Dingwall Combustion

I personally don't own one, but there are a lot of great reviews around on these Combi's. Perhaps not so much on this forum but there is a lot of Combi love on TalkBass [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=501832&highlight=dingwall+combustion"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...wall+combustion[/url]

and of course on the Dingwall's own forum [url="http://www.dingwallguitars.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1735"]http://www.dingwallguitars.com/community/v...?f=2&t=1735[/url]

I've had mine a couple of months now and I really like it.




It feels great, plays great and sounds good. For players who want to change the sound, there's always an option to install a B string magnetic kit to beef up the lower end a bit and it's $15. Otherwise a new set of AB pickups can be ordered for a lot more.

I think it's something Sheldon Dingwall came up with in response to some complaints that the B string was 'weak'.

I'm really wanting a Dingwall and need a second bass so the Combustion is right up my street. It's not easy trying one before you buy and Bass Direct is a long way from Preston - especially if the choice is limited.

I tried the combustion last year and ended up getting an abz instead. The combustion was ok but the abz was the much better bass for not much more cash, I would recommend you try them both if you can.
I've had my abz for about 10 months and it's pretty much the only bass I use now, can't fault it in any way.

As far as I can tell Mark keeps quite a few Dingwalls in stock, He's always been super helpful whenever I've pestered him about basses!

Also you might want to take advantage of the take it away scheme (if finance is your thing) sooner rather than later as I believe its about to change to only under 25's soon.

I couldn't find any reference to it on the Dingwall site.[/quote]
