Members Awake77 Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Has anyone played one of these? Ive been looking for a 4 string and these look sweet. I've heard the active electronics are kind of lame though...seems like a good bass for what they go for used (~400 - 500). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreaserMatt Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 I dig them. I picked one up at a local GC the other day & starting slapping, etc; it felt/played very good. I'd pick one up used if I could find one "on the cheap"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Optimus Prime Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Kindness pimped one out a while back. The black pickguard made it look 10x better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jateca Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Mine's been a good workhorse for a couple of years now. Honestly not too fond of the active circuitry, but other than that it's great. I think Lug is also a proud owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stevesherbert Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 what the hell do all the wacky switches do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rllefebv Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 what the hell do all the wacky switches do? The bottom three are front p'up, back p'up and series/parallel... The top one is active/passive, with the rollers being bass and treble cut... Lot of options. Great bass that is well built with top notch detail... For some reason, even though I totally dug mine, I couldn't love it... -robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thinkarogadum Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 I like mine. In passive mode, it's essentially a jazz bass. The active controls, which are boost only, can give your sound a nice kick, although they're a little noisy from the factory. Nothing a good shielding job can't fix.

Members s4001 Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 I had a friend do this for me a long time ago. Looks good, right? Very cool, but I think the 14 1/3rd fret would toss me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave Campbell Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 I think the Jaguar Bass would look better with dots and binding. I'd like to see colors like Sherwood Green, Sonic Blue, hell - Ice Blue Metallic, Shoreline Gold. But, of course, offering only the typical three or four keeps the cost down.

Members bassplayer7770 Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 I tried one once at GC, but that's not really enough to have a real opinion. Anyway, it seemed a solid bass overall. I'm diggin' the Oly White, but I also dig the Red with matching headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
