Like my professor says to me in class, "chotto..."
It looks... interesting, but something about it is too strange. Are those all switches betwen the 6 knobs?

Nice!!
Thanks guys,I wanted a studio friendly Bass that would be tonally versatile.
the layout is
MV/V/V/V
stack Bass/treble
stack low mid/high mid
18v
battery power level indicator
2 separate Z mode switches = treble/mid/low
one for the treble pickup
one for the Bass pickup
each Z-mode switch has it's own separate module for adjustable lows and highs
1 mid switch,this switch allows either the treble pickup
or the Bass pickup to work in conjunction with the
middle pickup.
1 tone switch,when the stacked mid knobs are in the indented position this switch does not work but when out of the indent position this switch acts as a tone boost.

Wow! After talking to you a couple of times about this bass, I've been really wanting to see it. This may be the closest to the ever elusive "do everything" bass than any other.

The Bass covers a pretty vast range,especially with each Z-mode switch having it's own module for lows and highs adjustments,having this feature really plays a part in the Basses tonal options but if the Bass didn't have the Z-mode switches I think it would still be versatile but not as much(obviously)and the B string is very pronounced,not at all floppy and I have SIT strings on it,gauges 110 80 60 40 30.
Nice, Jauqo, you know I aint no j bass dude but that is a VERY nice array of tonality you got there. I knew it was coming but you did'nt prepare me for a monster like that. Let's get some video & sounds up soon man!
Dang, that really is different! I wish you had brought that to the GTG, although that 4-94 you had is one of the best looking basses I have ever seen.
Thats some wild stuff right there, enjoy ! I did not know that Pat does blocks and binding on his necks.

Thanks,I asked Pat would he put pearl blocks and white binding on the neck and he did and he also put a light high gloss gold tint on the fb.
