FYI the first bass I puchased was a Indio Pub Bass 4 string single P pickup passive. Nice instrument, I have no complaints. The recent buy, a Godin Freeway 4 string PJ pickups (Duncan Baseline, I believe) active. The Indio has 21 frets and the Godin has 20 frets. No complaints for either. Lean toward Godin right now. Wanted try a PJ model, active pickups were just a bit of icing. . Enjoy all.
Godin guitars are outstanding in just about every way. From Canada but finished in New Hampshire (I think). They are the equal of most American made products in quality, fit and finish. I had a Godin SD22 Guitar and it would smoke a Fender. Good grab!
