Dingwall Combustion Nashville 5 2 Tone Black Burst

Tight Definition and Modern Power in a Classic Burst Look

The Dingwall Combustion Nashville 5 2-Tone Black Burst is a modern 5-string bass that perfectly combines innovation with a timeless aesthetic. The 2-Tone Black Burst finish gives the instrument a classic, stylish look with a powerful edge — a visual nod to vintage designs, but built for the contemporary bassist.

What immediately sets this Combustion Nashville apart is its signature fanned-fret / multiscale neck. The variable scale length ensures each string has optimal tension, resulting in extremely tight and defined lows on the low B-string, combined with clear, musical mids and a smooth top-end. This makes the bass particularly well-suited for modern genres like rock, fusion, pop, and metal, where precision and punch are essential.

The Nashville pickup configuration offers extra versatility and switching options, allowing you to effortlessly switch between warm, full fundamentals and cutting articulation that slices through any mix. Combined with the active electronics, you have a wide tonal spectrum and plenty of headroom at your disposal.

The ergonomic body and comfortable neck ensure a natural playing experience, even during long sessions. With stable hardware and precise tuning, this bass is built for serious stage and studio performance.

The Dingwall Combustion Nashville 5 2-Tone Black Burst is therefore a professional choice for bassists who want to combine modern playability, tight definition, and a classic look in one powerful instrument.
