yes the 5 ive got is superb

it is a fantastic sounding bass tho

no it’s not a shorter scale so guy must be big 😂

hi Eldon the weight is about 9 lbs

thanks mark it’s lovely and really needs to be played so hopefully someone can give it a new home

it’s superb , and lovely to play

this is my 5 , exactly same control wise

i think most peeps run them in active and there a huge range of tones to be had from it

these are switching arrangements SWITCHING Knobs 1-2 are volume controls and passive/active switch: Knob 1: Neck pickup volume. Down = Active, Up = Passive If this knob is up and Knob 2 is down only the neck pickup (passive) is heard Knob 2: Bridge pickup volume. Down = Active, Up = Passive If this knob is up and Knob 1 is down only the bridge pickup (passive) is heard. If both knob 1 and knob 2 are in the up position, both pickups (passive) are heard. Knobs 3-5 are a 3-band EQ control: Knob 3: Bass EQ. Functions with pickups in active mode. Knob 4: Mid EQ. Functions with pickups in active mode. Knob 5: Treble EQ. Functions with pickups in active mode. The bass will function passively without batteries as well.

pulling the volume control up turns it into passive , but i’ve never used it in passive as i prefer active mode

always a joy to play

yes v rare but superb machines
