like the paint job hows the action and the neck

[TheReal7]

the action is awesome...since it was used by a good player...it is set up really nice. Just needs a thourouhg clean up and new strings. The active pickups and all the knobs, you can dial in like any tone on this sucker. Gonna make a great recorded bass for me.

I noticed the single string holder thingys instead of a saddle.

How does this affect the preformance?

[TheReal7]

I don't know if it has any affect. I know that each one has a grown wire running to it though. So that might have an affect.

I just picked up a SansAmp Bass Driver RBI preamp. Wow does this thing have some killer sounds.

That's nice man, I'm happy for ya. Just be careful that your 7 stringers don't gang up on it during the night and have a bonfire. :eek: They might get a little jeaous. :)

Weird the guy I play with has exactly that bass, colour and all, I dont really play bass so I find them quite intimidating things, due to the size. Its a beautifull guitar though.

[Plstrcast]

I use the sans Amp Bass di too, I friggen LOVE it and it's the ONLY pedal I'll ever use anymore (for bass).

that looks exactly like my bass only blue. Cool bass. if im not being rude, how much did it cost?
