Nice color combo.

Is that a Charcoal Grey or a Greenish color? Looks great with the tort pickguard.

I've worked on my kit and my Dingwall sound. It really wants more gain than other basses I have but sounds *terrific* even in isolation when you give it that. I get spoiled by the humbucker basses in terms of output from the instrument, I guess. So now this bass - with a bit of massaging of the amp EQ (actually very minor, just added some low mids which were scooped a bit for the humbucker bass) it sounds at least on par with any of my other instruments in isolation. As I have said before, it always sounded great in a mix.

So moral of the story? If you're not happy with your Dingwall's sound, try adding some low mids and pinning gain to just below overload/clip, which is recommended by most amp manufacturers anyway.

Now tomorrow I drive to Toronto to buy what's probably the only AccuGroove El Whappo cabinet in Ontario. Time to bring some more thump.
