The ACG version is different to the J East original in that the push/pull on the vol/tone stack is treble boost; the push/pull on the mids stack is bass boost (I think configurable, but not 100% on that bit). One switch is active/passive and the other coil switching for the split coil pick up.
So unusual for BD to get the specs wrong
A bunch of very tasty preloved ACGs have appeared on Bass Direct. Are they from anyone on here?

Just acquired a lovely bass from Daniel. Easiest of easy transactions and he was very helpful in supporting pickup arrangements. Top banana, deal in confidence folks.
It's a thought isn't it. Still messing around with control combinations. I've noticed that the impact of the tone on the mudbucker seems more limited compared to say a P bass tone control. How did you run the settings?
I think the full fat Attitudes have a chunkier neck. This one doesn't feel greatly different to the neck on my Sandberg TT. Pretty slim basically, not quite Jazz bass but pretty close.
Unlike you, I have no shame Karl. The refin is actually better than described in the listing. It is starting to rub off in places but I'm not particularly bothered about that.
Just picked this up from EvilBay (from a guy who turned out to be a real star and definitely a seller I would buy from again of anything turned up that interested me). I have been wanting to own one of these for a while but always seem to either miss out or not have the funds at the moment when they appear.
This one was originally Sea Foam Green but was re-finished by the owner in Lava Red. He has had it from new so I am in effect the second owner. Overall in great condition for a bass that has been used regularly over it's life. At some point it might need a new harness but everything else seems spot on.
Will do some better pics in due course.
Have you tried the bass in passive mode and rolled the tone off a bit? I have a California II Central with the Sandberg 3-band EQ which I imagine is what is fitted onto your Basic and that has the volume pull up for passive and the treble control then acts as the tone knob. I find that really warms up the tone..
Just purchased a softcase from Si. Great purchase at a very good price, thanks very much. Si also took the trouble to travel to meet up half way and this was much appreciated. Had a good chat, what a nice guy. Thanks again.
