Awesome! What's the control scheme on that?
I don't remember if I shared this one earlier, and I'm too lazy to look. This is my Warmoth Jazz, it's my go-to bass for the past year or so.

It's not much and it's not here yet, but it hit the UPS terminal in town this afternoon and will be delivered to me at work tomorrow.

The pickups are Fender Super 55 split-coil hum canceling J pickups. The bass is completely passive. Each pickup has an individual stacked volume/tone control. From there, the signals go to a six-position Turnstyle switch (position one gives me full manual control of the pickups, positions two-six are tone presets that bypass the individual pickup controls), to a master stacked volume/tone control, and out.

Re: Show us all your basses then...
I've got a post a few pages back in this thread, but last week a friend of mine from out of town stopped over, and as we were talking about our latest gear purchases, he asked me to list all my basses. So I decided why not line them all up in the room?
Newest in the lineup is the 5 string Hamer Cruise with 2tek bridge, third from left, which I got in January 2015. It has Bass Lines pickups, and the Seymour Duncan 3 band active EQ/preamp.
I recently got curious about how old that Rickenbacker 4001 actually is. You can punch in the serial number of your Rickenbacker instrument on their web site and it spits out the month and year it was built. My bass dates to July 1978.
I got my first electric guitar in 1979, and was learning to play for maybe a year in 1978.
That Bassstar bass (natural koa body P bass style fourth from right) is probably from about that time too, if not a couple of years older.
The Jackson Concert EX has Dimarzio Split P and Ultra Jazz pickups now, replacing the stock Jackson pickups. We plugged that one in while I had it out that day. Wow! The Split P has a strong, midrangey tone great for rock and heavy styles. The Ultra Jazz has a tight, clean, hi-fi tone. The combination of the two sounds very cool.
My friend decided he's gotta keep an eye out for a 1990's Peavey Fury like mine (far right) for his son, after plugging mine in. They're cheap, relatively easy to come by, the fret work, feel and playability are very high quality, and they deliver great classic P bass tone.
