Yeah it is active and I would say they're some of the most aggressive sounding pickups I have owned. I have played both and I can categorically say that the neck on the Thumb is thinner than that of a jazz. Bare with me and I shall get accurate measurements.

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]Pictures are up! Also forgot to mention that the neck is Wenge wood. Also the neck width at the nut is [/size][color=#111111][size=3]1.52 inches, neck thickness at fret 24 is 2.48 inches and 0.83 at fret 1. I hope this answers any questions in regards to measurements.

It is certainly a possibility, I go to Leeds quite regularly which is not far.

If this is still around at the weekend when am home in Sheffield I may ask to come and meet it :)

To be clear, it is probably likely that the bass will be in Sheffield from Thursday but I do not have capacity to allow to try it at mine for the time being.

Regards,

James.

An acoustic test is sufficient to see whether it has the character I'm looking for, I could also bring my headphone amp and phones to check the sounds ;)

This weekend would probably be the best if you are available, then it could be possible.
