I recently picked this bass up, and as much as this saddens me to see it leave my home, a 5 string Smith has availed itself, so this 4 has to gooo!
The passive/active switch has been a treat since I first utilized it, and I think anyone would use it.
Features Hum Canceling jazz pickups, 2 band 9v EQ, Pau Ferro fretboard, 24 frets, and included is the molded OHSC. The bass itself is 10mm at the nut and 19mm at the bridge, with a rather comforting 5-piece (maple/walnut) jazz neck. The bass body balances well on my body as well, moreso than my previously owned Fender jazz basses. Anyways,
I'd like to see $1050 - shipped.
