That's a great looking bass, Brad! I like the body shape. Do you have a full frontal shot? How does it sound? |

Attachment: Jake 006.jpg As for the sound, I am very happy with the results so far. I used Bartolini J pickups with the Bartolini Treble/Bass active circuit. I had the option to hook the circuit up with 18v (2- 9v batteries) which gives more headroom. This is the first time I have used the 18v setup but it shows promise. Later this week I am going to use the bass in a live setting which will really give me a better idea of the sound. |

Very nice Brad. I especially like the tight carving job on the volute. |
