Post by: edwardofhuncote on March 05, 2017, 03:31:59 PM: I've heard it said, those electronics are the very next thing to a Series-equipped bass. I particularly like the added master volume and bass boost-cut switch.

I'd have to say, the Brown Basses appeal to me more than other Small Standard models do... the alternate wood lay-up, the retro pattern... I guess the throwback in me just loves that kind of thing.

Good luck with the sale. Sure wish I could provide this one with a home. ;D

Post by: stoney on April 20, 2017, 04:27:01 PM: They remove the fingerboard and do the installation, which includes a switch, a new fingerboard and new frets. Not cheap but worth it.

Post by: gearhed289 on April 21, 2017, 07:27:20 AM: What a great bass at a great price. Bass boost switch is a great idea. I've been spoiled by my Distillate and don't think I could live without that boost.

Post by: stoney on April 21, 2017, 07:59:31 AM: Gearhead289, with all of that walnut, the bass boost really sends it to the dark side!
