I just knocked back an offer for one of these at $850 (NZd). It's loaded with Nordstrand NPJ4SV pickups. If he relists it lower I might pull the pin.

Purty!
Just pulled the pick guard, surprise! There's a dead 9 volt and a broken lead!
It's a "Active EQ" pup:
"We stopped making the switch pickups ("Active EQ") in the mid-'90s. We replaced them with the Pro-Active™ series. The little rocker switches on the Active EQ pickups change the sound. Switch #1 shifts the coil resonance. On a Jazz Bass® neck pickup and a P Bass® pickup, the resonance moves downward from 22 KHz to 6.4 KHz. On a Jazz Bass bridge pickup, it move downwards from 17 KHz to 4.9 KHz. The effect is to give a more focused sound with a harder attack. Switch #2 gives a broad band bass boost of 4 dB for the Jazz Bass neck and P Bass pickups, and 5 dB for the Jazz Bass bridge. The switches can be a very effective tool for changing the tonal "character" of your instrument. "

Soldered that puppy, new Eveready, tried it out thru my new cab and it's a very cool sound - love this bass, super light and plays like buttah.
