For sale is my Dingwall Combustion 5 string.
Since I have owned it from brand new, it has been upgraded to meet my Dingwall AB1 bass. You can not buy a Combustion in this specification.
The original specifications are:
Alder Body.
Maple Neck.
EMG Active Preamplifer.
Dingwall FD3n Neodymium pickups.
Four way selector switch.
Ability to make this bass an NG2 as the pickup slots are routed at the factory under the pick guard.
It now features:
Official Hipshot USA ultralight tuning keys instead of licensed versions. (£120)
Black hardware all over verses standard chrome (£60)
Dunlop Dual strap buttons (£?)
Dingwall SF2 Super Fatty II pickups!!! (£200)
A pair of roller string trees to aid string changes. I'd also mention tuning stability using these, but the bass was always rock solid for days anyway!
Things to note: Where I removed the old string retainer there is a small drilled hole where the screw came out. There is a small 2mm wide dip on the lower edge of the bass. It's the same colour as the paint anyway so pretty much unnoticeable. I've tried to photograph it but I can't see it in the picture lol. I have moved the rear strap button downward, therefore there is a hole (that you could put something in I suppose - another button or even a neat screw to fill the space. For these reasons the price is marked well below that of it's worth. The original pickups are not included in the sale. Original hardware not available. (Bass is pictured with string retainer not rollers here)
Collection is of course going to be the wisest idea and a cup of tea will be forthcoming Payment by Bank Transfer. - However, should you wish to have the bass shipped to you, payment will be made by bank transfer, no PayPal. I will ensure the instrument is safely packed in a soft case inside a shipping carton. It will be marked as Fragile with full details of address to be sent to. The arranging and shipping of the instrument will be up to the buyer and thus any claims insurance claims for loss or damage by the courier will be the responsibility of the buyer. No returns. (Photographs of the instrument and case and packaging will be made prior to collection. I can provide the necessary details for the buyer to arrange the shipment. Don't offer me less than £1000 heh heh! There's about £1300 worth of bass here already!
Should I find a way to find £1000, this bass will be removed from sale. I've struggled as this bass should be my keeper, but financial situation has made me put it up for sale.
