I purchased a SD 1/4 pounder and a Gotoh 201 from the good ol U S and A about five or six years ago (basspartsresource.com i think) and fully expected import duty. They were much cheaper than any uk dealer at the time and i never got the tax bill. Don't know if this helps, but im with Doctor J on this one.

I didn't think my 614 could get any better, until, i set it up following Carl Pedigo's instruction. It is now smoother than ever and the neck is so straight and slick. Gas is fully on for a Met Orange 415 (Sean's review and pics) and a Burst 424x / 1024x.

Mainly out of curiosity really.[/quote] I have a 614 and to be honest its the only active bass ive had so i couldn't compare it to anything, but for me it works just fine although some say the eq is pants. I generally boost everything slightly and then let the amp shape the sound and i can get some nice tones. However if i could only have one then i would have the passive.

Neck- on Bridge- on Tone- on Smiley face eq's for a nice bright sound or roll off the tone and sad/ish face the eq's for some thump.

Cheers Guy's, i think il go for the uber sharp chisel method and practice on some old lumps first.

Again not wishing to hijack, but how would this chisel/ dremel method work on basswood? Id doesn't seem as dense as Alder.
