This amazing bass weighs in at just 3.21kg, that's 7lb 1 oz! It's a wonderful bass and is great for those longer gigs (we reglarly play for 3 hours +. It' one of my preferred gigging basses, it's really comfortable to play and sounds great. It has a Sandberg Jazz Bass style pickups at both he neck and bridge positions. It can be played active or passive. In active mode controls are volume, pickup mix, bass boost and cut, and treble boost and cut. In passive mode the treble control acts as a passive tone control.
