I am a hobbyist making stone picks that I sell but mostly give away. They made me do this anyways.
I am absolutely in bass heaven! This one checked all the boxes for me. My first 18V Active circuitry and the tone variation is fantastic, even better (IMO) than my active Fender Jaguar. QUIET!

38MM Nut. Rolled edges. High Mass Bridge. Alder body. Maple neck with Pau Ferro fretboard. Very good balance. Good weight. Great color.

I love the single pickup blend control. Much easier than adjusting 2 separate volume knobs and the midway detent lets me know where the blend is.

Same with the EQ control (also with midway detent). I can set my treble and bass boosts and use the EQ knob to make a quick EQ adjust.

Together the blend and the EQ help add a lot of tone variations.
