Hey Adam, I own this bass now and I cant thank you enough for having the vision to order this bass for me 5 years ago, its exactly the way I would have ordered it. I have to say though, Im confused about the electronics. Above you state it to get Series 1, but it either has Anniversary or as one poster put it, EVH electronics, which is supposed to be Series 1 w/o the power supply. It has been routed out for the Series 1 electronics, but I cant figure out why I would want to put them in there, if the sound wouldnt change and would take away my ability to have a wireless, or to do stereo or mono without a power supply. Anyone have any input or thoughts. BTW there is a dead spot on the G string around C# and D. I am going to take it to Joe Glaser in Nashville and get it pleked in a couple of weeks. Should take care of it. I LOVE THIS BASS! Just used it on a couple of Country tracks for the artist I play for here in Nashville, totally not a Fender sound, I cant wait for it to come out!
