Dingwall Combustion 4 in Vintageburst, USED

The Dingwall Combustion 4 in Vintageburst is a high-performance bass guitar renowned for its innovative design and exceptional tonal range. It features Dingwall’s proprietary multi-scale (fanned fret) system, which enhances both playability and tonal consistency across the strings. The unique fan-fret design increases the scale length for the lower strings while maintaining a shorter scale for the higher strings, resulting in improved intonation, clarity, and definition. This design also provides a more ergonomic hand position, reducing strain and improving comfort during extended playing sessions.

The body of the Combustion 4 is crafted from lightweight alder, a tonewood known for its balanced sound with clear mids and smooth highs. The Vintageburst finish adds a classic and elegant look, highlighting the sleek lines and contours of the body. The bolt-on maple neck offers stability and a fast playing feel, complemented by a maple fingerboard, depending on the specific model configuration. The fingerboard features a modern, flat radius that facilitates effortless playability, whether for fingerstyle, slapping, or fast passages.

For electronics, the Combustion 4 is equipped with a pair of Dingwall pickups. These pickups are specially designed to work with the fanned fret system, delivering a punchy, articulate sound with a wide tonal palette. The active preamp includes a 3-band EQ, allowing players to fine-tune their sound with precision, from deep, rumbling lows to crisp, defined highs. Additionally, the pickup selector knob provides further versatility, making it easy to find the perfect tone for any musical style or playing situation.

The hardware of the Combustion 4 includes Dingwall’s custom bridge and tuners, ensuring reliable tuning stability and accurate intonation. The bridge's unique design accommodates the multi-scale system and contributes to the instrument's distinctive tone and sustain. The overall construction and attention to detail make the Dingwall Combustion 4 in Vintageburst not only visually striking but also a highly functional and versatile instrument, suitable for professional musicians and serious bass enthusiasts looking for cutting-edge design and superior sound quality.
