Here's my dilemma. I'm playing through an Eden rig - WT550, 410XLT and 210NeoXST. I'm currently on a 5-string MIM Jazz Deluxe.. i'm looking for a passive 4 string.. that's just the sound i'm after. But I need some suggestions as far as price/quality.. I don't want to spend more than a grand. I can get discounts on Fender, Gibson (though i dont want a gibby), Yamaha Ibanez & ESP.. I like the sound of warwicks but they're expensive.. Any good brands out there that are low key? i'm looking for tone and playability. It doesn't have to be beautiful. I just need some suggestions pls & thx.
 
my MIM is active and I always use it in passive - I just like the sound.. So i'd rather cut out the active all together and avoid the battery situation. I was thinking Carvin, doing another MIM fender 4-string and modding it also.. I'm just hoping on some bass info i'm not hip to. I'm all about the un-brand name yet amazing instruments :I
