I have a four-string Brute with the same upgrades in the pups and pre. I'm using TI flats on mine, and I can say that those strings with those pups on that bass really sing. The coil-tap switch is a useful option; thickens it up for bridge solo or clears it up for mixing with the neck pup for slap. I bypass the NTMB and run passive 9 times out of 10 because it sounds so good that way.

That sounds sweet! This bass definitely kills in passive mode too

This is such a beautiful bass! I saw it on the Brubaker facebook page the other day and it makes me wish I wasn't a poor college student

That's a very good price considering upgrades and shippng too. If I didn't already have a MJX5 I would be having this bass. I'm consdiering the very same upgrade.

are you interested in trades at all?

false404 · #15 01-13-2013, 12:31 PM

Looking to thin the herd now, so not too interested in trades at this point. Thanks for looking!
