Dingwall Combustion and regular gigbag?
- Thread starter mexibass
- Start date
cool, thanks! the scale of the bass is 37-34" because of the fanned fretboard... I just found one in musiciansfriend.com that has a 38" length. I wonder if this will suffice!
You can't look at scale length...
It's overall length from tip of headstock to the base...
Longest bag I have in my inventory is 49" internal length.

I use a Carvin gig bag for both of my ABII-5's. Highly recommended. Firm yet heavily padded. Huge amounts of storage too.

I can put a guitar stand in the top zippered pouch. I could fit my Streamliner 900 in the large pouch if I took off the rubber feet.
Considering what smallmouth says, ur 49" gig bag should do the trick right?
Hey man, where'd u get that carvin gig bag?

Any gigbag that will fit a 35" 5-string will fit a Combustion as well...mine currently travels in a Spector gig bag, fits perfectly 
I got an ABZ that I use a Mono M80 with and its been safe and snug up till this point. Hope that helps!

Thnx a lot guys! I think I'll save a little bit more and get a Canadian made Dingwall for my first buy, but it's good to know they will fit regular (large) gig bags. Much appreciated!

Combustions don't come with Dingwall gigbags?
My ABZ came with a gigbag. In fact, it is probably the best gig bag I have seen. I would recommend it even for non-Dingwall basses.

The gig bag that all current new Dingwall basses come with (except for the Combustion) are made by Levy's. They're fairly good.
Any gig bag that will fit a 4-string Jazz will fit a Combustion. The Combustion is physically more compact than a J.
Wow, there's some misconceptions regarding the Dingwall basses based purely on speculation, who would've thought that a Combustion is more compact than a Jazz? I actually didn't get the Combustion because I thought that it might not be comfortable enough for my duties of lead singer/bassist because I tend to jump and dance a lot on stage and I favour compact basses because of that.
Sadly, I was afraid a 37-34" scale bass would interfere in some way with my performance, and since I can't try out Dingwalls here in Mexico (nobody seems to own one) I chose a Spector in the last minute, only because of this concern. Not that Spectors aren't good enough, I love'em, but I've wanted a Dingwall bass ever since I started playing and saw that BP magazine famous "ultimate 5 string shootout" 14 years ago. Hopefully I won't have to wait that long to finally get my hands on a Dingwall.
And nope, I can't return the Spector. It's on its way to Mexico by now...
Thnx for ur input Sheldon and everybody else!
I also have a Mono M80 case for my Dingwall. I gig at least a couple nights a week and it works great!
