Bass arrived safely. Pros Great build quality Perfect set up Looks great Plays great Cons On the slightly heavier side but not too bad. At £399 this was a bargain. However, not sure I would pay the £599 RRP.

Really impressed with scan.co.uk as they send you a video of your bass being set up before dispatch. That's a first!!

Question: Do you think there would be enough room on a standard fender 51 P bass cavity (Control plate) for an active EMG P pickup with battery? Not looking to make any body modification to fit the battery but honestly not sure it would fit. Can't find any info online.

Yep, Think I will need to use a standard template and make a custom Pickguard. It's crying out for a Tele pickguard 😄

Not may Tele type basses on the market with a p pickup for that price so worth a shot!

They don't really offer a wide range of basses. However, I remember the brand featuring a lot in bass player magazine in the mid 90s.

These basses have gone way under the radar. I will share my thoughts when it arrives

The price point is really good but so little online about them. I pulled the trigger and ordered one 😜

Wonder if a standard fender 51 pickguard would fit?

Anybody played one of these? Look very nice! £399 seems like a good price!

Shame they don't offer the Z3 with blue sparkle and a maple neck. I agree, the Z7 looks way too busy with all the knobs.

I picked one up this week and pleasantly surprised! Firstly, the finish! WOW! The sparkle is gorgeous! No idea why other manufacturers don't offer that many sparkle finishes? (Cost?) The sound? Fabulous. Not quite as good as my sterling 34 but pretty close. The price is phenomenal based on the build quality alone! Only draw back is the weight. Surprisingly heavy! Anyway, What's your thoughts?

Next stupid question: Is there an easy way to tell which is the ring, sleeve, and tip or is it just plug in and try?

Got to be honest, most of the information shared is way over my head 😄 I never knew it would be so difficult to fit new pickups 😄 Is there a stereo output jack you can order separately that would fix the issue? If so, please share a link

Maybe difficult to tell from the photo but this is the passive Warwick jack, it looks to have 3 connections. On that basis, do you think it would work for and active EMG pickup?
