Just finished putting together this active 5 string and have to say I am liking it very much so far...
I grabbed a loaded satin black contemporary j body for cheap and I already had a CV 70's blocked and bound neck on hand so really just needed a few parts to make it work: tuners, string trees, nut, neck plate and the concentric knob was missing on the loaded body I received.
This bass is very close to the stock version with the exception of after market tuners and the tinted gloss neck, the original has a very pale (almost white) maple board and it is not gloss. I personaly like this look better.
It's an active bass and is easy to dial in a variety of great tones. Controls: volume, pick-up blend, tone, and the stacked knobs control bass/treble +\-
Wearing Fender Super 7250's 45-125 and the low B sounds amazing, it's rich clear and full.
..........Thanks for looking!..........
