[quote="FernandoZada":vuz6fvfj]I´m a brazillian musician and get a Afterburn I (the one that Nando are playing in video section) and love it and few weeks ago Nando (a friend living in EUA) send me a Combustion and I love it too!
It´s a a really nice bass and sounds so great.
Now I´m interested in get another one Combustion to transform in fretless!!!
Dingwalls are the best basses I´ve played and I don´t want another electric bass after played one.[/quote:vuz6fvfj]
Hey FZ,
You should know that Sheldon has a special magic formula he applies to his fretless fingerboards. They are absolutely perfect, to the point where you couldn't have possibly expected such a great fretless could exist.
Introductory talk: for a long time, I had wanted a fretless Dingwall, meaning to de-fret a Combustion. The C-bass hadn't been available at the time, but I started saving money. By the end, the C-bass was so overdue I've saved enough to buy a used fretless AB-II. I now firmly believe buying a C-bass and de-fretting would have been a mistake, even though the AB-II is a lot more expensive, it's just that good.
The lowest cost fretless Dingwall is an AB-I. I urge you to get it instead of de-fretting a Combustion!
