I have this in the 5 string version and it slays. The top-end is unbelievable.

Any more pics?

Yes, it works great in all registers!, very ergonomic and nimble bass.
About the Bass Extender (Drop D, for some) I was using it as a B, no problem in a Top40 band (so no 5 string needed) As far as pictures, I was only allowed to upload 2, I have many more that I would like to share. So if someone can let me know how to add more I would appreciate it.
Thanks guys!

IIRC, this is MIK and, from your description, utilizes top-shelf hardware, electronics, woods. The newer Kingston (MIC) offerings are great in their own right but pale in comparison to the earlier Korean models such as your's.

BTW, the Buzz Feiten system is introduced via an ever-so-slight modification of the zero fret.

Free bump for a killer and seriously underrated bass. I had one of these years ago that I wish I had kept. Absolutely better in every conceivable way than my CIJ Geddy Lees.

If my tastes weren't for passive PJs, I'd be taking a real hard look at this one.
