The Combustion NG is part of Dingwall's "ready to play" or "built in China, finalized in Canada" series. It is the affordable version of their Custom Shop instruments and-unlike the place of manufacture-a very nice piece of work. And yes, it's great for metal (as its connection to Periphery's bassist/producer Nolly Getgood implies), but the NG can do much more than that
The low end of these basses -as of any Dingwall by the way- is razor sharp and the frequency range super wide. This is largely due to the multi-scale setup and the Darkglass preamp. Any studio or FOH engineer will love this bass too!
The Combustions NGs are available with two or three Dingwall FD-3N pickups. The two pickup configurations can be set up as a humbucker (side by side) or as a Jazz Bass (like Dingwall's Super-J), the three pickup version combines these pickup set ups. The fingerboard of the NGs is always made of maple and the body of alder. You can get your NG with 4, 5 or 6 strings and in several awesome solid color finishes.
