I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

| | | | Get it, price looks good, mods look well done, everything appears to be well placed and clean looking.
Probably a great score!!! |

And how is it wired now - three volume pots, or what? - Still, at that price I'd buy it outright, no questions asked. The P pup is nicely installed, though in an unusual place.

Good Luck!

EDIT: yeah, Cliff,... still don't know if i really want it! after we try out the Synapse, i'll hopefully get to play it. it looks like it could be a "Dub Monster"!
