"Stealth Cirrus" on the Bay

So everyone,

I have decided for my next bass purchase, it will from Warmoth. I feel that it would be really fun to be able to assemble my next bass. Especially after putting work into my current basses to make them the way I like and the way I want them to play. Here is my description of my next bass

- Deluxe 5 Jazz -
Body: Alder rear rout and J-J config, string thru
Color: Alpine White
Neck: Maple/maple (4+1 tuners) with black dots and Graphtech nut. Oh and medium frets.
Hardware: Black Takeuchi string thru bridge and Schaller BML tuners.
Knobs: Im thinking just black barrel knobs or my set of Sadowsky knobs off my SX bass.
Pickups: I have decided that on this bass I want to get some of Basslines Active Jazz pickups. They seem to be sort of a take on EMG's, and currently Im playing through all EMGs in my basses. I would like to compare, if i dont like i will just swap out some of my other emgs in another bass. I would just run it vol/vol/tone, just like a normal jazz bass. That is how i currently have my emg's ran in both my j-style basses. I love the way i can control it and its just basic enough. I have had my run with onboard pres, and i feel like my amp and my hands are all the EQ i need. let the pickups do some of the work as well. I guess I am a fan of EMG's preset EQ in the pickups, hence why id like to hear Basslines take.

i think thats pretty much it. tell me what you think!

thanks

So why the heck did you chose to post that in this thread and not make your own?

Sounds great, but what does it have to do with the black Cirrus?

I've played one exactly like that one at a local store. I wasn't nuts about the flat black (especially on the back of the neck) but it has the millennium preamp and trust me, the tone is awsome!

Wow that thing looks bad-ss! Too bad the cirrus doesn't really have tone as heavy as that thing looks.

I'd think that with the right tube amplifier or preamp it would be as intense as you'd ever want it. I use a Mesa Recto-Pre sometimes which doesn't blow out the bottom end but gives you both incredible punch and dynamics along with super fat tone and sustain. I'm not so especially keen on the black either as opposed to natural wood - but to each his own...
