Dingwall Combustion 3 5 String Bass for sale. Vintage Burst, Excellent condition. - *SOLD* £1400 Leigh-on-Sea, Essex

[Leon C 2]

Dingwall Combustion 5, Vintage Burst. Excellent condition, with Dingwall gig bag.

I bought this from fellow BC’er kwmlondon earlier this year after seeing my hero Leland Sklar play in London last January, which caused me to become somewhat “multiscale curious”. Sadly, after playing parallel fretted basses professionally for well over 40 years I have found adapting to the fanned frets not as straightforward as I would have hoped. This really is a great sounding and versatile instrument, so rather than putting it away in my guitar cupboard I have decided to move it on to someone a bit more adaptable. I have only used it at home and on one gig so it is pretty much in almost perfect condition. It also comes with 2 alternative scratch plates (black & clear), as well as the tort plate fitted currently. Additionally, the previous owner managed to get Sheldon Dingwall to sign the back of the headstock! (See pic).

Collection in person is preferred, but I can ship at buyers expense to the UK only (cost to be assessed). Please PM with any questions.

That was my gateway to even more Dingwall multi scale lunacy! Sorry you didn’t get on with the whole fanned fret thing but having been lucky enough to now own a Canadian Dingwall I can confirm that a Combustion will get you 90% of the way there for less than a third of the price.

Might need to smash more than the one 😆. 

How is this tuned out of interest? 

[Leon C 2]

From low to high - B, E, A, D, G. Usual 5 string tuning, and believe me, the low B is clear as a bell!
