Late to the party, but I have one of these. I think 2-Color Sunburst with Rosewood fretboard was the only option, at least for 2006. I got mine for a couple hundred off Craigslist around 2010. I don't have a ton of experience with other basses, but this was a big step up from a Squier Affinity...

Traded locally for a behringer BXL3000A combo. Despite the mixed reviews, it suits me as a home practice amp.

Bumpity. Have a local guy offering a combo for trade. Will update this thread whatever happens.

(I'm new to this, so please let me know if I'm breaking any rules or etiquette here) For sale or trade, a Trace Elliot 1518. One 15 inch speaker, rated at 300w and 8 ohms. No tweeter. It has the black "Tolex" vinyl cover. I've read that the red "racing stripes" mean that it was made...

I have an '06 Fender "Power Jazz" with a Fishman bridge that has saddle piezo pickups. They are wired to a 9V active circuit board, each with an individual gain. The output is wired to the jack along with the standard jazz PUPs (both passive, no pre-amp). This might be a good reference for...

Thanks guys. TalkBass expertise saves the day. Once you guys mentioned the Power Jazz, the knobs all made sense. I've had a lot of fun blending the tone between the three pickup options. It's essentially a passive jazz bass, with extra knobs for the fishman piezo bridge pickups volume and...

Wow cool! The guy sold it to me as a Deluxe active, but I couldn't figure out the electronics and this bridge. There were some extra wires in the cavity that I couldn't figure out, now I know. Thanks Walter, I'm going to read up on this. Edit: So the volume issue was the piezio bridge...

Edit: Whoops, spelling: "weird". I bought a 2006 Fender MIM Deluxe Active Jazz on craigslist for $200. It plays well and I confirmed the serial number as a 2006 MIM. When I got it home, I noticed the electronics were different than the diagrams on Invalid Link Removed . First of all, the...
