definately I would love to hear a clip, also are they easy to modify, like say if I wanted to add new pups or neck?
Forget about modifications... you wont be able to easily modify anything. The neck is not a standard Fender neck pocket. And because of the extremely tight wiring it will be dificult to replace the pickups with other jazz pickups. Absolutely forget about do any new routes unless you have a pro do it for big $$$.
Ok, the sound clip is here...

downlaod the file named Chris. It took me 15 minutes to upload with dialup.
It's not my song (It's Chris's,) and it's not my usual style, but I do like it alot.
I set it up in the format it is in so that you could here 3 different basses
in a row playing the same thing. The line is 12 counts but I should have
made it 16. Oh well, this is just for comparisons sake.
bass #1 Fender Jazz bass
bass #2 Fender Precision bass
bass #3 Grand Acrylic bass
I didn't apply any effects, compression or anything to these. They are raw
through a direct box in my recording soundcard.
The jazz sounds a little warmer because it has the oldest strings. The
Acrylic has new strings so they are still a little bright. The P bass has
fairly new strings. I also sound a bit smoother on the j bass because I am
most used to that neck. This should give you an idea of the tone.
I should do more this because the acrylic and the jazz both have a variety
of sounds. The p bass one is the only sound a p bass makes (well except for
rolling off the highs.) The acrylic is just like the jazz except it gots
more growl, and their seems
to be a wider variety in the tones since the pickups are placed differently.

P.S. play this back through you bass amp (with your eq flat) if you have the
right cables. Straight from line out on the souncard or CD player (if you
burn to CD) into the instrument plug in on the amp. It will sound exactly
like I am their playing the bass unless your sound card is crappy.
