I ordered one from Sei having looked at the market and not been overly impressed with the offerings. MP told me..and showed me, that he would make a far better bass for the money, which at that time was about £1500.
He was correct and altho now his prices are nearly double..and his lead time around a year, I'd still go there for a custom bass.
His build and his workmanship make sure you end up with a unqiue personal custom bass which really works.
Altho he will fine tune his designs with thing like neck profile etc etc ... he has been doing it for long enough to know and advise what works.
The biggest single mistake in my book is picking unknown combination woods, but since all are active... this is less of a problem.
However, I think the bass HAS to work passively as well, and by that I mean it should great passive and not HAVE to rely of the Elecs 'saving' it..which it probably wont 100%
IMO.
