Published on 10/18/10 at 15:00Black bass with matching headstock. Rosewood Fretboard. Pearl pickguard. Chrome Hardware The knobs are Volume (Push/Pull), Blend, Bass and Treble. The pickups are EMG HZ. One Jazz Bass style pickup in the neck position and one Musicman-style humbucker in the bridge. Very versatile.
I paid $150 used for this. Deal of the century! I bought it off of a private seller on my local Craigslist.

Very easy to play. The neck is thin. A 24 fret 2 octave neck. The cutaways make upper fret access a breeze. It compliments the short coming of my P-basses.
I would prefer a pickup selector instead of the blend knob. But it is just something I have grown used to.
Maple neck, ash body with maple top. 34' Scale. String Thru body or at the bridge, 2-band active EQ. The quality of this is great for an import bass. The tuning stability is great. Very accurate intonation and setting the action low is no problem.
Bottom line is it is a very retro-looking bass with modern technology. I own mostly P-basses, but needed a bass with a variety of different sounds to cover what the P-bass could not. This bass was the ticket.
