Legendary bass but with some added modifications. Perhaps the most functional ones I've ever seen done on any bass.
FYI, the neck and playability is without question top notch. Low action? Easily done. Thick or thin string gauges? No problem. Time tested woods will adhere.
The mods:
Pickups changed to Seymour Duncan NYC dual coils. These when coil-tapped sound really good; not thin and lifeless.
Preamp upgraded to Aguilar OBP-3. I usually play the bass with FLAT eq unless the venue is weird with no soundman to help.
Two mini toggles added to switch between single-coil/parallel/series for each pickup individually, like a Fender Roscoe Beck. Many many tones.
Dunlop Inset Strap Locks. This means you have to use straplocks forever. Sorry but I'm a huge fan of not dropping basses.
Just for knowledge, this bass retailed at around $1500 if memory serves me correctly. Been almost 20 years? Out of production of course.
Comes with gigbag or gator semi hardcase at extra charge.
