Here's mine with a few cosmetic upgrades...mirror pickguard from pickguardian.com and a star/sun shaped sticker and inlays which I put on all my basses. Dunlop super bright stainless steel strings and strap locks. I love this bass. It is quite heavy however but my wide strap helps.

Frrrosty you forgot one important spec. Weight....

Sorry, man, no way to check. I don't have a scale! The people at Rondo Music might know, they were the only ones around to stock this bass.

Finally got the pic in a format this site accepts. On the right is the bass with the bridge moved 1/2" towards the tail. As you can see, the 6th string just makes it now.

I never did the S1 toggle switch, but the tone pot is now 250K, the vol pots are Fender no-load. Sound is amazing.

The screw vendor is in the USA, couple of dollars more, but got here fast. Buy American

After much reading, I bought one of these

I'll play too! Note 3 and 1/2 SX 6 strings. They are round wounds, flatwounds, and fretless plus a swamp ash body for the round wound version. Mods are Threaded inserts, string trees, different electronics (vol, mode sw, tone) Tort PGs and top loader bridge. (note dixicup headstock mod). The fretless 6 is right up there with my fretted Modulus as a favorite and great sounding bass! However, currently my most used axe is my Fretless G&L L2500.
