important info about the preamp pickups not physically being in the shell. It certainly does make a difference and is noticeable compared to before Bartolini redesigned them. Compare the two and decide. The new version takes away from the MTD siginature sound. More midrangey IMO and tougher to EQ out. Sometimes its better to leave what works alone instead of changing something because its easier to build. MT didnt change anything in his design but the new Bart system is less desirable.

I seen it on Norms bass dvd's and have been obsessing over this bass ever sense. I think it may be in reach around 2/09. I have only found the blueburst at bass central. Anyone have further info on where to find one? Much thanks for any reply's to this inquiry.

That bass is hot! Every since I heard Andrew Gouche's on different albums, I was hooked!
