Description
Multi-scale precision with serious attitude.
Modern bass design gets seriously impressive with the Dingwall CB3 Combustion 5. Finished in striking Whalepool Burst, this is a five-string built for players who want precision, extended range and a genuinely distinctive playing experience.
The Combustion’s multi-scale 34–37" fanned-fret design gives the low B string exceptional definition while keeping the higher strings comfortable and responsive under the fingers. Three Dingwall FD3n pickups and the versatile Quad-Tone switching system offer an expansive range of sounds, from clear and articulate fingerstyle tones to aggressive, cutting attack, while the active EMG three-band EQ provides plenty of control when shaping the final sound.
The combination of a swamp ash body, quilted maple top and sleek five-piece maple neck gives the bass a striking visual presence to match its performance-focused design. The ergonomic body and carefully considered hardware complete a package that feels distinctly modern without losing sight of what makes a great bass practical and playable.
This example is in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of use or handling. It presents extremely cleanly throughout and is ready for its next player.
A serious five-string for serious low-end duties.
