As usual the pickups are "hotter" than most active basses, which I like. And this is a passive bass.
Overall, fit and finish is top notch as is playability.
Good Job, Gibson

I guess the headstock is a slightly different shape, I really want one of those bad!
Is it the oversize body? |

Good Job, Gibson | This bass is active?

|  | All bass, no talent!
Me endorsed? | | Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada | | | I owned one of these last year. Very nice. Kinda big and heavy, but the tone was monstrous. They are passive, but mine was louder than my Modulus with a 18v pre.
Enjoy!

I've wanted one for a while, but the two that I've managed to play were both used, and HEAVY as He**. (seems to matter more as I've aged  )
How heavy is yours?

| | | | Congrats and have fun with it! I jumped when they were first reissued and picked up a gold top a little over a year ago. They made some changes that now have me thinking about trading to the most current version. They changed the headstock to a true LP shape giving it more mass, changed the neck profile, moved away from the baked maple fretboard but most importantly (to me) they bound the neck. I'm envious...... The only thing I'll have to do is play one to see what's up with the neck profile. What I can't figure out is how it changed. They changed the description but I'm not sure if that was just a description change to better identify what it has. Anyway, play it with passion and have fun. |

Is it the oversize body? | Yes, and the neck has "binding" too.
