Just finished putting together this active 5 string and have to say I am liking it very much!!!
View attachment 4589078
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
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.
Made a short thread during assembly. Thanks for looking!
