    I had one identical to this. Only sold it cause it was 11.5 lbs!
    These are great basses.

    I have the passive version of this. It’s a killer ash/maple machine and I’ve learned to love 18mm. I like it more than my previous Sadowsky jazz.

    they’re fantastic. I have two right now. Both in my “untouchable” pile. This bass looks interesting to me as well, but I’m a huge AZ fan :)

    Very good price on this bass. I have the same one and I'm keeping it. I bought it without ever trying one and I was not disappointed. You have to hold one to really appreciate it but they are rare out here.
    Good luck!

    The tuners look like GB30s. If so, then this bass can be made even lighter with GB528 resolite tuners, which are a direct fit. This is the only upgrade I've done to mine.
