Where are you based?

Let me know if your interested in trading for a fully carved 5 string upright.

Hi, has anyone modified a MIM fender jazz bass to work in passive mode as well as active?

Any info would be grateful

I'm unfortunately short of your asking price. If I had your asking price I'd be on the way to you. However if you need a quick sale.... ;-)

Hi Dazed, how have you gotten on?

I have recently ordered one of these bases. Kris will custom build your bass to suit. I wanted to create as much of a natural feel and sound as possible so I ordered a custom K K baby bass, traditional body style which is the largest body they make. I have opted for a 5 String set up strung with Thomastik Spiricore S strings. I figure that the larger the volume of bass structure, the more acoustic it will sound so I have opted for a full 4/4 size. It will obviously be way smaller than a full wooden acoustic 4/4 but big enough to get a more acoustic tone.

I play jazz and Latin jazz so it's important for me to get that growl so with the added volume and Thomastik Spiricore S strings (not the cheapest strings though), I'm sure it should hit the spot.
