HEY all i can say is the buying from zZounds on line was...pretty darn good! Jason K was the final sales person i ordered from. He was very patient and 100% in tune with the information i had recieved previously from 2 other sales pros...these guys know PRODUCT i had been searching literally coast to coast for my new p active ...this model has been out i believe since 2006 so needless to say i knew what i wanted..i probably had 5 or 6 in my hands before zzounds gave me not just the best price..they were consistant and very firm on me being totally happy with my new Special Active..i began my Rockin in the summer of 1974..and still possess a japanese fender knockoff my older brother FINALLY came home from theArmyafter 8 years part of it in the NAM from way back then and 4 other better configuration of Fender pj basses one Corona cal ..one Indonesian...2 from Ensenada Mex 1990 & 97 both Alder Body and sound better now then 20 yrs ago [ technology rt ] im not sure but these young uns are always tryin to offer me pretty good loot for my bullet proof Mexicans...i can truely say that for what i paid for my newest addition FDMPBS That came to me in the midwest in 2 days...THIS Black BEAUTY was and is a Prime unit ! I looked for two weeks to find something loose or paint flaw or run in the awesome paint...any way it is perfect to me...i know no such thing ..well it was a steal awhile back at the higher price i paid...it needed some of my favorite stainless secret weapon 105 etc..anyway it is gaining ground fast as my new FAV..It plays like a dream with the J Maple neck ..tweek the noiseless bridge pick.and my old ears are finding the groove with on board electronics...HEY IM 55 AND I FEEL ALIVE that is with my new ACTIVE DELUXE SPECIAL P !! OH i almost forgot zZounds gave me the 6 month pay plan....ITS AWESOME I CAN HIDE THE LOW MONTHLY FROM THE OLD LADY WITH NO SWEAT..in fact i think a new 1/2 stack or more is needed to Shake the rafters for this winters 16 block rampage....its pretty Amazing what some of these smaller setups can deliver..HEY i need a Bass amp package pro to GIve me the Professional Advice i got last time....I am happy that Jason and friends dont mind educating an Old small town Senior Like me on whats hot and whats not....Thank you all P.C.ESSEX

"It rocks!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I shall be keeping this bass for many years to come.
Sound
I've paired it with a Fender Rumble 100 watt amp and the sound that I can get from that cuts through with ease when playing gigs. Perfect for classic/ blues rock.
Ease of Use
The controls can be a bit tricky to use at times but apart from that, no complaints.
Value
I paid £440($600ish) for mine, I think that it is one of the best basses that you can buy for this amount of money.
