It has a modded EMG preamp in it that I put a push-pull active-passive bypass for those no-battery days. What a bass!

Can I get a club number?

Has anyone ever ordered their bass with a gig bag instead of a hardshell case? Am I the only one that did that?

At least you have a gig bag for protection. When I bought my KSD Burner 6 (B-stock) from zZounds, they shipped it in a box, only padded with crumpled paper. My fault, of course, I could have purchased a gig bag or case at the time but did not. Being that my order was a B-stock, I can not be sure of the marks which may have been on the instrument prior to its shipment to me. Anyway, it still sounds good so I'm keeping it.

@ iwearpumas:
beautiful bass!

How about a pic of the back and one on the walnut core?

 

[ColonelZulu]

I like that one!

 

[iwearpumas]

Can anyone describe the difference in tone in a Walnut core, and a Maple core?

Can anyone describe the difference in tone in a Walnut core, and a Maple core?

I believe a maple core is considerably brighter.
