I was very close to getting this myself, id want to stick a pre amp in though , gone for a natural spector, coz im a lazy so and so and mine has an east preamp in, as the OP states its a blank canvas at a very good price, hope you dont mind me hijacking but same as some other chatters, i have an EMG BTS circuit, with a seprate vol,blend, treb,bass ( the treble has 4 selectable freqs) which would complement this fine bass, i dont want alot for it either. Massive bump for this great bass!!!

hmmmm!!! I really fancy that nordstrand preamp ive nordstrands in my jazz and the EMG circuit i have in it is a bit too clinical sounding for my tastes ( it sounded ok when i had EMG pickups in it though) very skint due to just buying a new bass and octave pedal and new DR,S , i might start dropping xmas hints

Is that the 4 knob one with the passive tone, if so i may be interested!!

Absolutely cracking deal, good luck with the sale

these are absolutely fantastic cabs i had one for a while, but it was too big for the gigs im doing ,so had to go with smaller/lighter solution, i still miss it though as the little cabs just dont do the RAWWKK!! stuff as well, my favourite 4x10 by a country mile!! whoever gets this is getting a bargain!!

Wow its like the Darth Vader of basses "impressive" the force is strong with this one

was mulling over this all day , shouldve just gone for it

This is most definately sold and now going to live in sunnier climes daarrn saaarffff!!!
