SX owners?

i went ahead and ordered the sjb 75 having read a ton of nice things being said about the sx basses. i'm not real big on buying something i've never played, but it's cheap, and their return policy seems pretty good. now i wait, that is part i can't stand, but hopefully it'll be worth it if the bass is as good as i think it could be. i'll post pics later

kewl must do a review, i'm tossed between that and the "sx spj ash" maybe even the sbg1 with the real top and a modulus genesis neck if it would fit...
 
The SX Jazz is a good, solid, no-frills bass. And if you consider the price point, it becomes a fantastic purchase. Also, the bass is easily modded, should you want to do that (I did), but it's fine as-is.

The one weakness of the SX is the electronics. Not the pickups (I actually think they're just fine) but the pots and output jack. The one mod necessity is to replace those pots and jack.
