A bit pricey, as typical of the Japanese sellers, though free shipping. An interesting, hard to find lefty. I personally really like Spear's instruments, especially the S2 model, which I'd love to find another one:

I think there's just enough room for one more J Pickup. :lol:

I do own one of these. Oddly enough, I think if it had a PUP closer to the neck heel I'd be all over it. (Maybe a Model 1 style?). The J neck PUP near the P PUP doesn't sound all that dissimilar. When the PUPs are used individually, it's a fun bass with some variety, and really nails P bass and Stingray tones, but blending them doesn't really offer useful sounds, IMO. The pots are righty, so the taper is minimal and blending has very little subtle ability.
