Dingwall Combustion 6 in Vintage Burst Bass Guitar, (Used)

The Dingwall Combustion 6 in Vintage Burst is a six-string electric bass built around Dingwall’s multi-scale design philosophy, featuring a fanned-fret fingerboard with a scale length that extends from approximately 34 inches on the treble side to 37 inches on the bass side. This construction improves string tension balance, note definition, and low-frequency clarity, particularly on the lower strings.

The bass uses an alder body paired with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, providing a fast, stable playing platform with strong articulation and sustain. The ergonomic body design and angled fret layout are engineered to follow the natural movement of the fretting hand while maintaining comfortable playing positions across the neck.

The electronics consist of three Dingwall FD pickups paired with an active preamp system. The control layout includes volume, pickup selector, bass and treble EQ controls, and active/passive operation depending on production year. The tonal response is exceptionally clear and focused, with tight low-end extension, strong note separation, and a broad frequency range that remains articulate even under aggressive playing styles and low tunings.
