[quote="lomo":30xmlbnz]I'm happy with my FD-3s........waiting for reviews and A/B comparison sound clips B4 rushing to fix what don't seem broke......[/quote:30xmlbnz]
The FD3s are indeed great, but if I had one niggle with my Dingwalls, it would be that the bridge pickups don't have the mid-range bark and spank that I like when you solo them, so -1 on that point. I'm hoping the Mach IIs get my Dingwalls farting a bit more.

That said, the Dingwalls with FD3s have the best slap sound of any bass I've ever owned, and people comment nearly every gig about how amazing the Dingwalls sound, so +1 on that point.
All of this = I still love my Dingwalls, whether it farts or not.
