Glockenklang 2 band preamp, SFII bridge pickup, Precision neck pickup (original neck J pickup is included), 4 way pickup selector,
Weight - 8.5#

Nice Bass!
What controls are on the bass? Is there a parallel /series control? Passive only?
thanks, Keith

Active/passive.

It has a 2 band Glockenklang with a passive tone control on the treble pot.
The 4 way pick up selector does
Bridge solo
B/N parallel
B/N series
Neck solo.

the pick ups are probably internally wired in series.

Thanks Nate, you beat me to the punch - much appreciated. Lots of interest in this bass - won’t be around long. Talk later
I wouldn’t think so!

this is in my top 3 supers I’ve ever played/owned. I really love the neck and sound of this one.

plus that transparent off white is vintage sexy.

Photos still look tiny and low resolution, FYI.
Any routing changes to accommodate the pickup change?
The bass is routed to accommodate both pick ups from the factory. Fwiw I owned this bass before @lotusland9663

I hope this isn’t out of line but here are some pics I have of it

fwiw, I don’t really “flip” a lot of instruments. I know what I like and am very very pleased with my bass harem. That said, I always play long scale and having 3 supers was ridiculous excess which forced the hard decision to thin things out.

I usually prefer X tops/woods etc. and with that this has been one of the hardest basses I have ever parted with. The tone, neck and playability of this thing is awesome, but like I said, I reside on long scales(and six string) 99% of the time. I only have the middle SJ left now.

I hear @AB Nate about this one being hard to let go. The transparent white is beautiful. I would have a very hard time letting go of mine (in avatar) as it is my favorite five-string. These don't literally kill, but they sure are fantastic instruments. :cool:
