Hey, James here!


It’s James, and I've got something that will make your bass-playing fingers itch with excitement.

Did you notice how fan-fretted bass guitars have been getting more and more attention lately?

Well, I've got my hands on a Dingwall Combustion 4-string bass, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer.

But is it a gimmick or the real deal?

That's the question I'm tackling in the exclusive video review.

Here are just some of the things I covered in the review:

Build Quality
This isn't just another run-of-the-mill bass. It's made in China but perfected in Canada by Sheldon Dingwall and his team. The craftsmanship? Impeccable.
 
Unique Design
Ever heard of Ralph Novak's fanned-fret system? It's not just for show. There's a science behind it that's been around for centuries. Yes, centuries!

Tonal Choices
This bass comes with a four-way pickup selector, offering a range of tonal options that will blow your mind. And guess what? We're giving away an upgrade kit to take it to the next level (more info below).

Active-Passive Switch

Battery running low? No worries. Switch from active to passive mode in a jiffy.

High-Output Pickups
Designed for a smooth yet aggressive tone, these pickups are a revelation.

Ease of Play
The fanned-fret system might look intimidating, but give it a few hours, and it'll feel like second nature.

Sound Principles
The longer the string, the better the tension and tone. It's a principle as old as time and beautifully executed here.

The Best Part?

We're actually giving this very Dingwall away to celebrate the launch of Bass Lab PLUS 2.0! 


That's right, this beauty could be yours, shipped right to your front door.

But I'm not going to spill all the beans here.

You'll have to watch the video for the full lowdown, including four tone tests that will make your jaw drop.

What do you think of this bass guitar? Is it a gimmick? Or a true game-changer? Let me know in the comments!


I'll see you next week!
