NBD Active 5 Squier Content

A follow up: last night I was able to give it good run though, it's really fun. I don't have a ton of experience with active electronics but will say I really enjoyed it.

Pick-ups are high output ceramic hum-buckers I was able to get the classic J bass tone and then panning the pickup to the neck position also gives me the P tone albeit with a more polished sound, it will give articulate highs and thunderous lows that are surprisingly punchy and clear.

Whether you are into slap or not I can say this bass really shines in that realm. It was a surprise to hear the very bright piano like tones available then back off the tone knob for more muted sound. This bass covers alot of ground!

I have that one from the factory in a white four string version. Huge bang for the buck. Great set of electronics in there. I'll bet that low B is tight and massive.

My Mod Shop P is Satin Black. Just putting it out there, satin black goes really well with the red/blond tort that Fender has been using lately.

That's a great looking bass. Dig in.

Yes, just a micro cloth. I haven't used any type of cleaner. It's holding up pretty well.

Anyway, that bass with the blocks and black hardware looks rockin' and I hope it sounds that way too.
