with 24 frets on a flamed maple fretboard. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bestbassgear.com\/nordstrand-pickups.htm\">Nordstrand pickups<\/a> are working horses with Aguilar electronics in passive or active mode.And can be split in series\/single\/parallel with 3way switch for each pickup. <\/p>\n<p>The upper horn is right at the 12 fret so there is no neck diving and is perfectly balanced for longer gigs. <\/p>\n<p>Hardware is supplied by Hipshot and is all of aluminium. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02579_01_154782_10150807334342636_1445405967_n\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px;
