This Bass has a feal that is so smooth, your fingers just glide over the neck. The special neck makes it even easier. It has 1 pickup ( it is like 2 pickups in 1 )(active). It has a front and back pickup mix knob. Each side of the pick up has a treble and a bass eq knob

Plus a little active bonus. It has 2 eq switches. 1 for each side of the pick-up.

In the down postion it boosts lows and highs and cuts low mids ( I think ) In the up postion it boosts high mids ( again ... I think ) This versatility allows you to change sounds on the fly. There isn't much of any sound that you can't get out of this guitar. If it sounds like I'm a proud owner you are so right. Plus it looks goooood.
