It's an example of a "session workhorse" as @jb90 mentioned in his previous post. With the options that were summed up by some of the other forum members.That looks pretty sweet.

Heck I was wondering what a Darkstar wasI really was tired when I posted this - bass actually has a Sonar 3 preamp not a Darkglass

I suffer from old timers disease sometimes ;-). I actually like the Darkglass Tone Capsule, have it installed in several of MY basses, and recommend it on many of the builds I order.Heck I was wondering what a Darkstar was![]()

You may be onto something here, hmmmMe too. I am thinking we have the start of a new line of bass products.. Darkstar active electronics with an X-Waing bridge and Y-Wing tuners. Sound awesome to me!
That thing is fantastic!Couch shot from a year ago Notice the bridge pickup is 48mm and the neck pickup is 38mm

I agree! Lately most of my configurator noodling has been various takes on a Joker. Buying into a bass with a larger body would be a leap of faith. Sure wish I could play one first.That thing is fantastic!
Do you still have it?
