I have one from 2008 with gold MEC pickups. I replaced the MEC on board preamp with a Michalik BP-4 preamp ( used by Spector in their Euro series basses under the name "Tone Pump") and replaced the tuning mechanics with Gotoh. The bass lit up beautifully and got rid of the chemical sound admixture in the sound coming from the MEC preamp. Amazing instrument
I have a similar bass to this, mines a 2007! Love that bass, can’t imagine playing anything else, if you’ve got flat wounds on there and you’re more used to rounds, I highly suggest getting some elixir rounds, they’re coated and I’ve been using them on mine for nearly a year now, they’ve put less wear on the fretboard than the flats I had before.

The "i got a fretless" to "seinfeld" road is unbelievably short.
