Dingwall NG2 Combustion review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Dingwall Combustion NG-2 impresses with its stunning looks, clever design features, and exceptional comfort, making it a standout choice for bassists. Its versatile tonal options, enhanced by a Darkglass Tone Capsule circuit, provide a rich palette of sounds suitable for various styles, despite the absence of a treble EQ. While the passive mode is slightly underwhelming in volume, the active mode truly shines. The fanned fret design and superior build quality enhance playability, offering a tight, punchy tone and excellent tuning stability. Despite its association with metal, this bass is versatile enough for any genre, representing great value for its price.
