That '51 iss too sweet for words. Nice Bass dude
 
Yep, the JS tech a.k.a Suhrs. They took a long time to get but they are fantastic. I used the bass last night. One set I used an Aguilar DB359 the next set an Ashdown ABM 400. Epifani 4-10 cabinet. I rocked with either head. I always liked the punch of an MTD but the Benavente was a much more comfortable better playing bass. My first Benavente had single coil pups. The dual coils in my new one gave me the EXACT tone I was hoping for. The preamp is great too. It doesn't have that brittle high end hiss of a Pope preamp.

Cool! I've got the "Before Suhr" pre in my fretted (Mine was finished just as the preamp changed). Once I get the fretless (coming with the JS Tech dual+pre) I'm gonna ship the fretted back to Chris for the upgraded pre :cool: I've gotta wait though, I can't be without a Benavente Bass !!!
 
I won't waste bandwidth posting another photo since I have the twin to sellersm's black '51 P/J. The only difference is my ebony covered Aero P is not reversed. This bass is on my "do not sell" list. It's the only passive bass I'm using (I'm still pondering an active pre-amp).
