5-string multiscale electric bass with neodymium pickups and active EQ, including gig bag
With the Dingwall Combustion 5 2PU PF Ultra Violet the Canadian company sends a 5-string electric bass in the typical multiscale design into the race. Finished in a chic Ultra Violet, the five-string comes with an elegant quilt top, a swamp ash body and a four-bolt medium Thin C maple neck. Individual scales for each string, rising from 34" on the G to 37" on the B, also guarantee an extremely tight sound with precise tone even at low tunings. Two neodymium-reinforced Dingwall FD-3N pickups, which a rotary switch calls up in different combinations, and an active EMG 3-band tone control promise furthermore extremely flexible sounds for almost every genre. Indestructible hardware in the form of Dingwall single bridges and Hipshot Ultralite tuners complete the Combustion 5 2PU PF Ultra Violet by Dingwall.
Thanks to its multiscale construction, the Dingwall Combustion 5 2PU PF Ultra Violet also accurately reproduces low tones.
In addition to the swamp ash body, the Dingwall Combustion features a bolt-on, three-piece maple neck with a comfortable profile.
Multiscale construction for a tight sound
The Dingwall Combustion comes naturally in modern multiscale construction, the unmistakable characteristic of the Canadian company. Each string of the 5-string bass has an optimally adjusted length, from 34" (864 mm) at the G to 37" (940 mm) at the low B, so that a precise and tight sound is guaranteed. Furthermore, Dingwall relies on a swamp ash body with a chic cloud maple top that strikes an optimal balance on both the strap and the thigh, and a bolt-on three-piece maple neck whose slim medium-thin C profile lets every groove come out of your fingers with ease.
Managed by a 4-way switch, two Dingwall FD-3N pickups deliver exceptionally versatile tones.
Three pickups and active EQ for multi-faceted bass sounds
At the bass amp, the Combustion 5 2PU PF Ultra Violet turns out to be a true all-rounder, which is not alien to any musical genre. The neodymium magnetDingwall FD-3N pickups promise smooth bass sounds with the right amount of aggression. A 4-way rotary switch calls up the two pickups in different combinations, so that the five-stringer comes up with classic and modern tones. Last but not least, EMG's active 3-band tone control allows you to tune your personal bass sound.
Lightweight Hipshot tuners on the headstock of the Dingwall Combustion guarantee a stable tuning.
Indestructible hardware equipment
A high-quality hardware equipment perfectly matched to the electric bass completes the Dingwall Combustion 5 2PU PF Ultra Violet. Five Dingwall Single-Bridges on the body guarantee an optimal adjustment of the intonation and height of each string. On the compact headstock, the strings are also guided with a straight pull to the Hipshot Ultralite tun ers, which not only guarantee accurate and stable tuning, but also prevent unwanted neck dive due to their light weight.
