I am the 2nd Owner of this

Cool story: I actually bought this off Dan Veal from Guitar Interactive in the UK while I was studying there

You can not buy a Combustion in this specification

The original specifications are:
Alder Body.
Maple Neck.
EMG Active Preamplifer.
Dingwall FD3n Neodymium pickups.
Four way selector switch.
Ability to make this bass an NG2 as the pickup slots are routed at the factory under the pick guard.

Dan Upgraded it to basically a US specced Dingwall:
Official Hipshot USA ultralight tuning keys instead of licensed versions ($250)
Black hardware all over verses standard chrome ($120)
Dunlop Dual strap buttons
Dingwall SF2 Super Fatty II pickups!!! ($400)
A pair of roller string trees to aid string changes. I'd also mention tuning stability using these, but the bass was always rock solid for days anyway!

I then changed the pre-amp to a Darkglass Tonecapsule ($220 + installation) and thisbass GROWLS
Also changed the pickguard to a custom one from Alperious pickguards ($300), will provide original with purchase
Comes with 3rd party hard shell case

Letting go due to lack of space at home and not spending time on it

Price is somewhat fixed at SGD 3100
A brand new Combustion NG3 would go for about SGD 3700
This bass holds a very special place in my heart and I may not want to part with it for the wrong price

Free to come down to my place to try it out
