Dingwall NG 5-String Specifications:
Body Core: Alder
Alder is the traditional wood for the electric bass. It can't be beat for a traditional warm tone with strong forward mids, controlled highs and warm but not muddy lows.
Finish: The satin and gloss NG finishes are polyester base topped with polyurethane color and top coats. This industry standard finish is long-wearing and beautiful for years of life. Colors:
Ferrari Green Gloss
Pickguard: Carbon fiber print - black
Neck Specifications:
Dingwall takes neck construction very seriously due to their extensive experience in guitar repairs and understanding of extreme climates. Dingwall experimented with many different lamination techniques and have found a 5-piece maple construction to be among the best.
Neck Carve: Medium thin C shape
Neck Reinforcement: Carbon fiber reinforcements and 2-way truss rod
Headstock: Flat with string retaining bar.
Dingwall has combined the minimalist shape of the Afterburner headstock with the lightest import tuners they could find. The result is an excellent balance and solid performance.
Fingerboard: Bound Maple
Maple has a nice snappy top end that really enhances the attack of the note. Dingwall now finishes the NG maple fingerboards with a satin polyurethane to maintain stability. The entire neck is finished with the same finish.
Fingerboard radius: 240mm (9.45")
The NG bass features a single radius fingerboard. This makes for a very comfortable playing experience.
Fret Material and Size: Dingwall uses 18% hard nickel silver fretwire.
Lee Sklar turned Dingwall onto the benefits of small frets. The advantages are a more woody, less metallic tone, smoother glissando and a faster feel. Dingwalls standard size is "banjo" size. This is the same size you would find on most guitars from the 50's and 60's. Although its size is smaller than standard bass fretwire, its service life is about the same.
Position Markers and Inlays: 3mm plastic face dots, 2mm plastic side dots
Dingwall NG Electronics:

Jack: The jack is one of the most critical electronic components of a bass. It is the most likely to suffer abuse so needs to be rugged in order to be reliable. Dingwall wanted the Combustion to be as reliable as it is great sounding and looking so Dingwall installs an amazing socket style jack plate with a Switchcraft brand jack. This is the most reliable system you will find in this price range.
