DINGWALL KYLE KONKIEL SIGNATURE COMBUSTION 

The Kyle Konkiel Signature Combustion has been produced to the exact specifications of Bad Wolves bassist Kyle Konkiel.

From a player’s perspective, this is a great-looking, versatile instrument that covers what might be termed ‘Dingwall territory’ – and then some. “It manages to provide not just one but a whole collection of great bass tones that have loads of character,” says Kyle. “Bad Wolves is such a versatile band. We play everything from progressive metal to ballads to radio rock, so I wanted something that could cover all of those styles.”

With an exclusive first run of just 25 instruments, the Kyle Konkiel Signature Combustion brilliantly showcases the smooth curves so typical of Dingwall bass designs. The body is alder with a maple neck, wenge fingerboard and Ralph Novak’s multi-scale, fanned-fret system, which results in a 34–37-inch scale spread across the five strings (the scale length of the B-string is three inches longer than the G). But the innovative fret design is just the beginning.

The body also has a purple-green colour-shift finish. “I got the idea from a Lamborghini I saw cruising around LA,” says Kyle. “It had the same colour-shift finish.” What you’re left with is a perfect combination of looks, feel and flexibility, and a fast, comfortable neck that allows you to be as adventurous as you like.

From a player’s perspective, the Kyle Konkiel Signature has plenty of tone shaping options too, thanks to three of Dingwall’s highly-rated FD3-N pickups, a Nordstrand 3-band active EQ and Dingwall’s Quad-tone switching system. “What you get is a fantastic blend of vintage and modern,” says Dingwall CEO, Sheldon Dingwall. “The tones are warm, clear and powerful without being overbearing when you need a bit of subtlety.”

Kyle also chose to compliment the existing setup with a simple selector switch for the middle pickup that allows for an additional configuration – the first time this feature has been used on a Combustion. “I can get P Bass tones out of this thing,” says Kyle. “I can get Jazz Bass tones and I can get a really monster humbucker sound that could literally blow PA speakers.”

“I’ve been playing Dingwall since 2015, but I never really thought a signature model would be something that would happen for me. It’s been such an amazing experience that I’m still kind of dumbfounded by it.”
