What flats are you putting on it?
Cool. I was just playing my old 78 Pbass with the LTF's on it. What kind of music do you play with that setup?Labella LTF
Great looking bass! What's the knob layout for the preamp?My new M5V is on the way. It's nearly identical to my previous M5V. The only difference is the new one is 35" and has a Trickfish preamp. I mainly just wanted to move from a 34" scale to a 35" scale. I had to stick with the charcoal frost finish and tort pickguard.

Did you get the volume /pull for passive feature? Trickfish supplied the volume pot/passive pot wired up and ready to install.Volume, blend, mids, treble/bass

Thanks man. Trying to find my way into a JT or PT if anybody has/knows of one...We won't hold that against you.Congrats!
I'm a guitarist who likes to play bass, but I used to always take my guitars in to Mike for setups/mods. I've had a couple guitars refretted & Plekked there too. Mike was always super cool and of course his work was stellar. RIP.
.This bass arrived yesterday. I put some DR Sunbeams on it and spent a few hours playing it. The Trickfish IPA preamp is absolutely stellar! It doesn't really impart its own color, but still makes everything better. It sounds like a slightly better version of the bass' passive tone, which is great. I'm really digging what the 35" scale does for the B string. It has so much clarity and heft.My new M5V is on the way. It's nearly identical to my previous M5V.
