Dingwall Combustion Vs Fender American P Bass

[Pastor Big Mike]

I have a Japanese Made Fender P Bass and am looking to upgrade. I recently stumbled across Sheldon Dingwall's Combustion bass guitar. It is a fanned fret design. I was wondering if anyone knows much about Dingwall bass guitars and if they are better than a fender P Bass.

Dingwalls are great instruments, made with high attention to detail. They make around 300 basses a year, compared with Fender, who make god-only-knows how many.

However, it's all down to personal opinion, and ultimately, what you want out of your instrument.

Have a look here: Dingwall Owners Club Part 4

Those guys (particularly Grand Wazoo and Blues Cat) know WAY more than me about Dingwalls!
