What a considerate S.O.
+1 for Indonesian builds,had a couple from there with no problem. If the preamp's not to your taste, is it an easy bypass ?

Congratulations on both the bass and the S.O

Thanks...

yea the pups are passive....i'm thinking about just installing an active passive switch.....or at some point down the road swapping out the pre-amp
