ead Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Talked myself into believing one of these Dingwall basses would be a great idea. It's a 2009 Combustion 5 in absolutely immaculate condition (from Mark at Bass Direct). So here goes... First impressions: Well put together; not too tricky to adapt to bearing in mind I have minimal 5 string experience as well; the neck feels great, very slim top to bottom a bit like somebody has stretched a Jazz neck sideways; the longer scale strings have a much bassier tone to them, just acquired some super long Chromes that i'm going to fit. If it's a keeper then I'm going to do something interesting with a new preamp too.
