One of the best basses available period!
I mod basses as a business. I happen to own one of these and it is my only bass, out of 8, that I have chosen not to mod. Everything on it and in it is great! People - you need to jump on this quick!!!

Thanks Groovecraver! Not much you can change on these to make them any better besides strings!

I've had 3 X.oc basses. They are amazing. The Glock/Delano is the best sounding pups/preamp combo I've heard. Too bad the gear kitty is light- it wouldn't bother me a bit to have two 5's in different finishes! GLWTS!!

Thanks Jeff, I was actually thinking about hitting you up about it after I saw you sold your fretless version.

I am honestly not sure. But they were only assembled in San Clemente, CA for a few years. Based on the S# I would speculate 1994?

Looks like your bass has a switch on it that the one in Ed's demo doesn't have - is that for the pickups & how does it work?

The switch will deactivate the inside coils, making the pups single coil on the outside poles. This was added to later models.

@brstma the spacing is 19, and can be adjusted. The neck is at 2 3/4 and the bass weighs 8.5 on my crappy bath scale .
