Dood Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) This isn't something I was planning to do but, as you will have seen on my other Dingwall thread, I need to clear some debts, including a hefty car service recently. It is a white combustion with maple neck and black pick guard, but has also been upgraded to all-black hardware including premium US Hipshot tuning keys NOT licensed. You will also get upgraded Dunlop Strap Lock Buttons too! The jack plate dish is also black. (Or I can change to Schaller locking buttons if you'd like) [size=5][b]HIGH RES PICTURES LINKED BELOW[/b][/size] I will add a hard case too. Combustion Series II Specifications: •New Dingwall made in Canada FD3n Neodymium pickups •EMG USA BT07 3-band pre-amp •Dingwall USA strings •Alder body - White •Maple Fingerboard with rolled edges - 37 - 34" scale - £45 option •Bone nut •Banjo frets •NOVAX® FANNED-FRET SYSTEM™ (see below) [b][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£1000 + Shipping (comes with a hard case and sent in a shipping box for safety)[/font][/color][/b] Edited October 4, 2016 by dood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Bugger! I used to play 5's all the time but have reverted back to 4's for the last 12 years or so....I'll wait for pics then to be properly tempted. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pickups and electronics have not been touched or upgraded, I should add. They are amazing already! Ok, I'll do pictures in just a sec!

ikay Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Sorry to be the one to ask but what does it weigh please? Also what's the overall length? They look huge (and I'm small!) but I can't find any pics showing side by side comparison with a regular bass like a J or P. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks [/quote] Well, the scale here suggest an admirable 4.1Kg, which is ace. Remember there is no neck dive on these basses which means the discomfort on the shoulder of a normal bass (such as a five string Fender) is alleviated making the whole instrument feel much lighter too. Side by side to a Fender P, the nut of the P is inline with the first fret of the Combustion! - Meaning you only have an extra inch or so further to touch the nut of the Combustion. This is because the bridge is angled backward meaning the longer scale B string's low notes can be closer to you.

Thor Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) What's the string spacing at the bridge please? Is string spacing adjustable at all? Please forgive my ignorance if it seems obvious😊 I'm guessing it's fixed. Edited July 25, 2016 by Thor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 It's fixed and according to the Dingwall page it's set to 18mm. I have to say I thought it was 17.5 all this time, the bass feels super fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 And I suppose with a change of bridge it could be adjustable and that'd be a simple job for a tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
