The Combustion NG is part of Dingwall's "ready to play" or "built in China, finalized in Canada" series. It is the affordable version of their Custom Shop instruments and-unlike the place of manufacture-a very fine piece of work. And yes, it's great for metal (as the connection to Periphery's bassist/producer Nolly Getgood implies), but the NG can do much more than just that. The low end of these basses-as of any Dingwall, for that matter-is retestingly tight and the frequency range super-wide. Largely, this is due to the multi-scale setup and the Darkglass preamp. By the way, any studio or FOH engineer will love this bass, too!
The Combustions NGs are available with two or three Dingwall FD-3N pickups. The two pickup configurations can be set up as a humbucker (side by side) or as a Jazz Bass (like Dingwall's Super-J). The fingerboard is always made of maple and the body of alder. You can get your NG with 4, 5 or 6 strings and in several awesome solid color finishes
