agree with u guys. The stock pickup sounds just ok, not impress me a lot. So i decide to try more jazz pickups, maybe handwound armstrong, maybe villex. I am aslo a kent armstrong preamp user, i installed several of them on my preowned basses.... I like the feel of Milan's neck, pretty much close to the pbass neck feel which is my taste.

i have a milan iv which built before 2004. decent sound but nothing special. It looks great with its amazing 1/4 sawn flame maple neck. 1piece mahogny body and 2pieces bookmatch lightly flame maple top. The thickness of top and back is half and half. noiseless jazz pickups, passive electronics. oh...forget to metion sperzel tuners installed. originally eggle high mass bridge which i believe oemed by wilkinson/gotoh. set in neck joint which is cool to me...never have a bass with this construction. a little bit worry about the stablity. bloody expensive but i got mine from evil-bay.... me and Mr.Gordon Tilley at PEG booth,2004 Shanghai Music Expo.

i've got a used blade b2 limited edition. built in 1996. well built and sounds pretty good but not like fender at all. it has 2volume 1master tone and bass/treble stacked. very versatile adjustment. also has a trim pot on preamp pcb. maybe gain or mid boost......
