Besides trying to SAVE up for this Iconic Bass,I am awaiting a online review from someone who has puirchased this product.Judging from the Electronic specs(18v Preamp,Quarter Pound Jazz PU’s) all this baby needs is a MuTron 3 to bring my favorite Bass Character to life ! The Five-String is a bit pricey(around $999 @Musician’s Friend.com) which is why a review is so important. clfstw62 aka”Bassclif”
