Yes, that's an option. I would've been fine with just a regular vol blend and passive tone.

Yes. I edited before your response. A 3-knob control plate is available too. I found the 3-knob, and 4-knob with VTC. Thomann, Bass Gear and Fret Nation are a few sources. I do not know if installing one it will void the warranty.

Same function as original Sadowsky pre w/out the VTC. All that said, I haven't played an MIC yet, but would likely switch to one with VTC since I use that the most.
Does anyone know when the preamp kit will be available? It's been a year or so since they've been in stock...
Hello guys!
I have read this thread and a lot of information online. I am really tempted to get a 4 string version of the hybrid model. Has the noise problem been solved?

I am picking it up in July, either the middle or end of the month. This may be my last layaway because too many things pop up and mess with the schedule. Oh well, life and what we plan are never the same thing.

This should finally be headed my way this time next week. I am looking forward to having a nice fretless five again.

Doc, that is nice! Can wait to hear your impressions. I’m sure you’ll post a vid. Enjoy it.
I will see what my intonation is like when I get it. It is unlined and I am not going put a bunch of cheat lines on it with a Sharpie like I did on my Glarry, but as someone else said, the dots are probably in the right place on this bass!
I feel ya Doc! I would like to have a fretless, but I would not be bold enough to get one without lines. I would get one with lines and would have no shame, LOL!
Definitely. I bought two JJ's after having one at home for reviewing for the Dutch bass magazine. I originally only had the five string, and then ordered a 4 with the exact same specs (but it sounded quite different). I didn't use the 4 enough so sold that one and put some Aguilar pickups in the fiver. Absolutely killer bass. No issues with noise or setup whatsoever.
