I just bought the cream Shifter with maple fingerboard. I think it's a good buy.
The middle pick-up gives me a good growl with a little more focused tone than my '83 P-bass. The bridge pick-up ALONE is for the birds, but switch it to bridge/middle pick-up combo and you can get some nice j-bass tones. I think the neck/middle pickup combo sounds like an active p-bass (warmer). And the neck pick-up ALONE can achieve some nice Hofner Beatlebass and Gibson EB tones.
If you play a lot of different styles of music, this might be the one bass you'll ever need. I found that I had to raise the pick-ups on the E string side of the bass so the E and A strings matched the volume of the G and D stings. I have a bit of a nasty fret buzz on the E string fretted below the 7th or 8th frets, but I have yet to take the instrument for a real set-up.
I LOVE the neck- I'm a long time Fender bass guy, and the construction and feel are, dare I say, better than Fender's necks. The Tele style headstock with the large tuners totally sold me on the instrument.
I'm happy with the overall looks of the bass, I'm even happier that 4 out of the 6 pick-up configurations are usable. Plus, in a day and age where so many instruments come out of Asia, and Mexico, I feel good about a Canadian built instrument. Construction and quality are every bit as good as what's coming out of the Corona, CA Fender factory. Thumbs up all-around in my book.
