Hey, I'm a Dingwall, Stick *and* MTD/Tobias owner, does that make me the friendliest and most helpful of all?

My Dingwall is a slightly older mahogany body, bubinga top ABII5 with the original FD-3 pickups. I'd say the basic sound of the bass is warm, but it has a clarity and tightness that makes it extremely versatile and fun to play. A friend of mine has an older Ken Smith and the sound of the ABII is really quite similar, just a little more modern.
Hard to compare it easily to my MTD, as it's an ash body, ash neck model, with a fairly aggressive tone. The sound is a lot more big and open than the ABII, more suited to rock and funk gigs. I expect it would be easier to compare a Z2 to an ash/ash MTD, but I suspect the Dingwall would still have a tighter sound.
Cheers,
EG
