Swamp Ash body with upgraded EMG HZ pickups. 
probably going to be a project.

These can be fettled into being a very good instrument.

I've seen a few SX basses and thought they looked really decent, with much potential 👍

[Burns-bass]

I had one of these. Absolutely excellent basses.

I’m still on the lookout for an off white one, to build a Laura Lee tribute.

I believe Laura Lee's SX has DiMarzio pickups. She is a fine player and always has a great tone, and has been using that SX for a long time.

I gig mine regularly. Never felt any need to change it. Great bass.

Im getting involved in a new project where a jazz set up with some groundwounds might be the thing. I really like the green one. So seeing your comment has made me think yeah why not. Laura Lee’s SX is sxy 😂

Have you 'project'd it yet? Any changes or did you go with it as is?

I swapped out the stock tone and volume for an EMG HZ that matches the pickups. And removed the scratch plate. Fender high mass bridge. 👍

The bassplayer from Khruangbin plays a SX Jazz Bass as her main, though with the stock pickups swapped for some higher quality ones (I forget if they are Seymour Duncans or DiMarzios, but one of those two).
