spacecowboy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, Got the opportunity to pick up an amazing bass that I don't want to let slip so in keeping with my one in one out rule I'm offering up my simply gorgeous Dingwall Combustion II 5 string, it's the new range of "II" model so comes with the B Booster kits pre-installed and the ever so useful active / passive switch for those wanting to dial in those more classic tones, for you fanned fret virgins don't even think about letting the "wonkiness" of them speed bumps put you off trying it, I hop between this and my fender jazz without thinking, it's highly intuitive, and you won't notice, unless you're chording at the high twenties. I'm supplying this bass with a recent setup and a hard case and think a return of £875 posted is fair, the hard case is slim and extremely sturdy, used but in good condition, my first wish is a direct sale and the only trades I'd consider would be a Sandberg Jazz style / California bass, 4 or 5 string, preferably white / tort (we can hope) cash can move if required. The bass is in fantastic condition, one slight ding on the neck near the headstock (I'll get this photographed) but it's very slight and purely cosmetic, pickups sound great, bass plays amazingly no buzz anywhere on the neck, and no need to introduce you to the legendary Dingwall B, it's godly. I'm doing this from the comfort of my bed and I only currently have this image to hand, but I'll take a full set tomorrow, and upload them including pics of the hard case.

Bass is in Newcastle local pickup welcomed. Thanks. Edited February 5, 2014 by spacecowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellyfish Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Absolute bargain price, can't believe this won't get snapped up soon. My Combustion was the best 5 string I ever played (before my custom build) and it was genuinely refreshing to not have to worry about any of the problems that 5 strings can have. I'd still have one if I hadn't have had to sell it to fund my custom Alpher bass. And what Mr. spacecowboy says is true; the fanned frets are great and comfortable to the point where I was able to switch between basses no problem at all. Good luck with the sale.
