The Dingwall CB3 Combustion 5 MN Indigo Burst is an electric bass of 5 strings that combines precision, power and innovative design. Fabricated with a body of Swamp Ash and top of curled maple (quilted maple), it offers an articulated and defined sound with a spectacular presence. Its screwed neck of 5 pieces of maple and its fingerboard of the same material guarantee stability and rapid response. Its characteristic multiscale scale (34"–36.25") provides an equilibrated tension between strings, a firmer grave register and an impeccable definition in the acute notes.
