Thanks! Very nice man!! Yeah...those JO CS basses are killer! Is it everything you thought it would be? I know I was floored when I first hear mine.

Thanks, Markus! Still working out some of the kinks on this bass. The pickup heights aren't aligned correctly (the bridge pup's too quiet, which also means it's less growly than I expected), which may be part of the reason for string-to-string volume issues as well. (As you may recall, the bridge pup was loose on the E side when I got the bass.) The E and A strings sound great, but the D and G aren't there yet. Also, I'm having the same hum issues when touching the pickups as Denis had--looks like some grounding is needed. So I need to get it over to Carl. I have no doubt it's gonna be a killer bass when it's set up right.

Thanks!

I was going for a bass that no one already has got and to mix the sound of Ric/Fender/Gibson! The bass is built by a Swede that calls himself Olja and he did a great job!
The ChiSonics are humbuckers and sound awesome, i´m thinking of putting a push/pull to be able to use it singlecoil as well.

Well it's not really that bad of a buzz. And honestly I only noticed it at my house (which has terrible wiring throughout, radio stations through my amp on bad days...). We had such a quick line/sound-check on Saturday that I didn't have a chance to listen for it.

Plus my hands are hardly ever completely off of my strings. But yeah, I want to get it checked-over at some point.
