34.

I played it again and it's fucking awesome. The only gripe I have is the bridge seem kind of cheap for an instrument of this price range. Other than that, it's a beast. Very comfortable, does passive and active on a push pull pot. Can get mids like crazy or low down deep and fat. I dig.

Awesome to hear. Active/passive is something I wish I had on most of my basses.

No shit dude. I don't know why more people don't do this. I would use that option so much. That's what I loved about my 25th so much.

On basses that have passive PU's and active pre, it should absolutely be done. At least, I'd pick that any day.

The problem arises when you have (using my MTD's as a perfect example) ACTIVE pu's matched with an active preamp. Both components need juice, so the active/passive is pretty much ruled out.

But oohhhhh... the tone.....

Crappy cell pic!
My new Dinger! IndigoBurst (custom color, changes from blue to purple in sunlight), Alder body, maple neck, wenge fretboard. My first passive bass in a long time. Lots of solid tones with the different pickup selection options (parallel/series, single or both) . The neck pickup is a Dingwall P pickup, pushes those mids like I like, I also have the original pickup too.If I want active I'll put a John East P Retro in it, so I can easily do active/passive and have that passive tone control still. I will definitely wait a bit before deciding anything though, especially since I have an EQ pedal on my board now.
This bass plays so smoothly. It's the workhouse now. I ordered a Mono Vertigo for it. Gotta protect my baby.

34 is a pretty standard scale length (although short than an SR).

Is this a budget bass or a booteek bass? I've never heard of the company before.
