I posted this last month and wasn't going to get one but couldn't resist and have been enjoying it very much. I needed to free up some cash, sold some expensive stuff and bought some cheaper stuff including this. It's a very active sounding bass, doesn't really do single coil, bridge pickup bite, but has a variety of tone with the pickup configuration. Neck and front coil of the MM make a sweet slap tone. Thicker neck than most Ibby's I've played. Understated look that fits in a variety of situations.

How is the weight on it @nutdog . Like the premiums but had an old atk that weighted a ton.

 

[nutdog]

I asked geartree if they would weigh it before purchase and they did. They put it at 8.65lbs. Pretty close to my postal scale.

In action last weekend

One more word about the tone. Despite the 'attack' name, this is not what I would call an aggressive sounding bass. It has a roundish sweet tone. I was concerned it would be lost in the mix but at church, DI'd into the PA and with the loudish folk/rock trio that was not the case. Very fat sound, possibly sightly scooped depending on the pickup selection.

I guess what I'm saying is if you're looking for a slicey/dicey kind of bass this may not be for you. It can lean that way with the MM or just the bridge coil of the MM soloed but it still sounds rounder than say a single coil jazz bridge pickup soloed. I've been leaving the EQ at noon with the switch in the front coil position. Solo the neck pickup it sounds P bassish for finger style, blend in the front coil of the MM and it sounds very active jazz slapish.

Nice.. yeah.. mine was over 10lbs.
