I sold one of these last year. The pre was swapped out for a John East Deluxe pre (made as a drop in replacement for this bass model). It had the best jazz bass sound I've ever heard and it had a killer slap tone. I might be able to put you in contact with the buyer if you're interested.
Hi,
My name is Mark, I am from Amsterdam, Netherlands, and been a "musician" since the age of 12, I'm also a IT manager, but that is not really interesting.
Hoping to be a little part of this great website.
Thanks!
