Always liked the look of the MM Jazz but the 5 string version neck is too big for me, so I got this.

Body is a Fender Jazz 22 fret version (aka the "boner" bass). Neck is a Carvin with tung oil finish, Wilkinson tuners and bridge. Pickguard was custom made by Harold Cagle (Musiclogic here on TB...thanks Harold for a great job and a great price!) with my new favorite layout....2 volumes and 3 EQ separated.

Electronics are Villex reversed soapbars with a Demeter BEQP-1 preamp. (There is a switch that was supposed to be wired for active/passive but I cannot find a wiring diagram to do this and have not heard back from Demeter....anyone got any info?)

Obligatory chrome cover to complete the MM look.
