Three neodymium-armored Dingwall FD-3N pickups, which can be called up in different combinations via a rotary switch, and an active EMG 3-band tone control furthermore promise extremely flexible sounds for almost any genre.

The Dingwall Combustion naturally comes in modern multiscale construction, the unmistakable feature of the Canadian company. Each string of the 5-string Bass has an optimally tuned length, from 34" (864 mm) for the G to 37" (940 mm) for 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, which is perfectly balanced both on the strap and on the thigh, and a bolt-on three-piece maple neck, whose slim medium thin C profile allows every groove to come out of the fingers with ease.
Three pickups and active EQ for multi-faceted bass sounds
On the bass amplifier, the Combustion 5 3PU PF Whalepool Burst turns out to be a true all-rounder that is no stranger to any musical genre. The Dingwall FD-3N pickups with neodymium magnets promise smooth bass sounds with just the right amount of aggression. A 4-way rotary switch calls up the three pickups in different combinations, so that the five-string comes up with classic and modern timbres. Last but not least, EMG's active 3-band tone control allows you to tune your personal bass sound.
Indestructible hardware equipment
The Dingwall Combustion 5 3PU PF Whalepool Burst bass guitar is rounded off with high-quality hardware perfectly matched to the E-Bass. Accordingly, five Dingwall single bridges on the body guarantee optimum 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 tuners, which not only guarantee a precise and stable Tuning, but also prevent unwanted neck dive thanks to their low weight.
