I've had to force myself to put it down as I need to go to bed (up early tomorrow).
I've only played it on my headphone practice rig, but so far I'm really impressed with the Neve pre-amp.
The bass sounds decent enough in passive mode, but I can't say I'm ever going to gig that way.
The controls are: volume/4 way pick-up selector (bridge solo/bridge middle series/bridge neck parallel/neck solo)/master tone/bass/treble.
There are centre detents on the bass and treble, so that seems to be cut and boost for both.
The master tone control is the one where the magic happens though and not a hint of hissiness when it's wide open.
It's a lovely full sounding pre and combined with the extended scale on the E and A it produces a sweet punch.
I can see I'm going to have to buy a few sets of the nickel Dingwall strings for future use.
The case, or gig bag, is actually of nice quality. It's pretty close to the standard of my Mono bags.
It's the first 4 string Dingwall I've owned (I've had a 5 string before) and I honestly didn't even notice the fan frets.
It's slightly different with a 5, but I'd say anyone considering a fan fretted 4, don't be put off.
All in all, I'm very happy with it.
Anyone else received theirs yet?
