There's definitely room in the cavity for a preamp if you don't mind drilling the pot holes
Heh, if I am going that route, I would do the same to my AB1.

The black adds more contrast against the white body, and the chrome more contrast against the dark green.
I think you both made exactly the right choices.

Ha! Fair enough, I wouldn't seriously suggest that anyone should drill holes in this pristine beauty anyway.
Please have a look at Alessandro Stellano's other project called April Fools, a great Italian band, and their new fantastic single and video, showcasing his cherished Dingwall ABZ5 tuned E-A-D-G-C
Enjoy! Sheldon Dingwall you should be proud of the exposure, this video is on Italy's national TV!!

Alessandro generated some great tones here. 
It was nice of him to give everyone a clear, still view of the headstock & logo. Nice grain in the body of his ABZ!

Assuming that the rocking horse and the bass are both yours, aren't you a little young to be owning an NG-2?

Since we're on the subject of Super P . . . . . . Introducing the first pic of my first ever custom bass.
There's a few SP4's floating around in trans white. I thought we needed a 5er to stare at. First clean fb SP series I've seen (there's a sj on dingwall site). Also, cant tell it has side blue lumilays
Better lit pics to be taken once I receive it. Top 1/2 looks kind of swirly and the bottom striped

I didn't want to steal thunder from BC's beautiful instrument, so I refrained from showing mine off again for a few days.Bob's Super P was actually the first, but I knew it wouldn't be the last
But yes, here is the first Super P with black hardware and non traditional tuners. It was both Sheldon's and the unanimous opinion of the rest of the shop to go with the modern tuners, and I'm glad I did. Oh and BC, love the black PG. I think that's a killer choice for that bass!!
Can't wait to hear what you think of the tone!!

Sorry about pic quality, but I cracked up when I saw this.
I have well over 100 gigs and worship services on the SJ5. It seems that Sheldon's lifetime bass face guarantee remains safe.

Let's just call it what it really is........
Ugly man........incredible sounding bass.
I envy all of you that have regular church gigs. It sounds like a good regular outlet to get out and play.
After a year of it, I am still shocked by how much I enjoy it. I even sweet-talked another TBer to share duties and he seems to absolutely love it as well.
Ken, I'm sound boy tomorrow but play tomorrow night at Lamplight Theatre.........with you guessed it, the Super J!
I totally sympathize. When I go away to my happy place, my face always looks like I'm sucking on a lemon.
Since I got the ABZ5, I've amassed a whole album of unusable stage shots. Serious bass-face in every single one of them!
