Dingwall ABZ vs Combustion

[Jamesemt]

I traded an ABZ earlier this year as I got hand cramps playing in the first position with the?? 37'' scale??

I've read that the Combustions come with a 35'' scale. Do they feel much different? Are the neck shapes the same? I absolutely loved the neck from about the third fret onwards.

This relates to the 4 strings, not 5.

I'm feeling the need to add a Dingwall to the 'keeper' collection if I can get a shorter neck and active electronics

Phew! I thought this was going to be a thread in favour of setting fire to certain Dingwalls.

Hi James,

Combustions are 37". Super J's and the new Super P are 35".

Try a Super J

Thanks for the replies, I'll check a Combustion out.
Is there much difference with the Combustion 2s?

I thought you didn't get on with the 37" scale?

[Jamesemt]

Lol Sorry, trying to multi task with two kids doesn't work! Meant to say I'll have a look at the Super J and possibly P

[charic]

You mean you haven't taught kid 1 to look after kid 2 yet?

Keep an eye on my site as I have the new Dingwall P basses on order in 4 and 5 and also the Super J in 4 and 5.

The more compact scale length retains all the benefits of the fan frets but is a little more compact and bijoux ;-)
