Timweather Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) This Dingwall Combustion belonged to my son who died earlier this year and I am selling it on behalf of his wife. I know nothing about basses generally or this one in particular, except that it has the serial number 00052, so I am unable to answer technical questions about it. Anyone seriously interested is welcome to come and see it at my house in Silverstone. Alternatively I would be willing to bring it to a potential buyer's house if within a reasonable distance. It comes with a Mooradian gig bag. NB: The third-party selling rule has been waived due to my particular circumstances. Edited September 3, 2016 by Timweather
eloann Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Sorry for your loss. This is a very nice bass. Granted it's an earlier version but they usually sell for a bit more.

therealting Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I'd just like to add that I owned this bass before Timweather's son and traded it with him for a Super J. As far as I am aware it is pretty much a stock V1 other than the pickups being wired for serial rather than parallel output, and also the pickups have had the B-booster magnets added to help balance string output and this has worked quite well. The neck has a lovely satin finish, and when we traded it was in pretty good condition other than a few dinks.
Timweather Posted August 25, 2016 Author Posted August 25, 2016 For those interested, I can confirm that this instrument belonged to Colgraff/Ben and he died in late April, which is why there have been no postsfrom him since then.
gioby1 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 I'm very sorry for your loss. Can you post a picture about the back of headstock for reading where the bass was made? Many thanks.

They are exceptional value for money.
therealting Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 The person getting this is not only getting a great bass but is also helping a good cause.

therealting Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) I don't think the country of manufacture was on the back of the headstock. Edited August 28, 2016 by therealting
BM617 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Still for sale? And does it come with a case of any sort?

[/quote] Original ad says a Mooradian gigbag. If it helps the sale, I am happy to contribute a hardcase in exchange for the Mooradian... but it looks like this may be reserved anyway Edited August 30, 2016 by therealting

BM617 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Many thanks therealthing. Haven't heard anything back from Timweather so it may indeed be reserved...
