Hey, I've been playing my Fender Player Plus Active PJ for I while now (my first bass) and while I enjoy it I'd like to add a Jazz(y) bass as a second instrument. I could then have my PJ strung with flatwounds. Now, there is one thing that can make me stop enjoying even the best instrument, that is the noise. Single coil pups are famous for being noisy. I know that there are ways to minimise it, but I don't want to go that route. I don't want to but something and then spend time modding it or shielding it. This is why I'd ideally like to buy something with Active Pickups that are noiseless (Fender's "Noiseless" are not truly noiseless). Also, I'd rather aim for sub 4kg instruments. Also, I didn't mention, I am interested in 4 string basses only. I've checked what is currently offered online by most of the retailers... and there is not much in £1K (+/- £200) budget. The closest thing I found (which isn't available anywhere) is Shecter J-4 Exotic with EMGs or Cort GB Modern 4 (with Nordstrands, which I don't thing are active). Any suggestions, ideas? PS. Sire is out of scope.

Hi Mark, Thank you for the offer, but I am interested in electric bass in person lessons.

Hey, I'll be looking for a tutor in this area soon. Couple years passed since last post. Any recommendations?

Hey all, New on the forum and still quite new to bass. I am glad to be here and I hope to learn a lot from the more experienced bass players. Possibly meet some of you in the future. J
