Like the colour of that (although I have a personal aversion to tort) and those SX basses seem to get really good reviews considering their inexpensive price. What are you r initial impressions? -

Oooh, this could be a cracking little unit especially if it can do the drive sound that's built into the Magellan 800, which is more like a pushed valve amp, very natural sounding, slightly compressed, smooth drive with an inherent mid-bump that sits just right in the mix. If it does that sound, and by blurb suggests it does, along with the additional flexibility of high and low pass filters and an adjustable clean blend, then I think this will be a very popular unit and a much needed counterpoint to modern scooped, clanky drive pedals.

That's not a million miles away from the tone I have got with mine stung with D'Addario Nickel 50-105's although mine are standard 34" scale cut to fit but with the through body stringing there's not a lot to cut off when first fitting them. -

The rosewood board on mine seemed a bit dry from new so it's had a couple of coats of lemon oil and D'Addario fretboard conditioner (not at the same time) over the 15 months or so that I've owned it and the board looks and feels so much better now. Obviously the lemon oil has completely ruined it but I persevere none the less. Generations of inbreeding, see. You're gonna need a bigger pyre, Stub. And even though I didn't mind the stock (presumably Fender) flats that came with it, and I say that as someone who is definitely not a flats guy, I highly recommend restringing the JMJ with rounds. There, I said it. Stick rounds on it. I always felt there was something missing with flats on, definition I suppose, but with rounds it just breathes more. Much more. I don't go for a super bright clanky sound but there is much more clarity and detail with rounds. The inherent short scale tubbiness covers the thumpy aspect of the tone as does that monstrous pickup but the rounds add that extra dimension to the tone that, IMO, was previously missing.
