Dejan I think it's just great. I'm crazy for Quilt maple. I think the 5-string with the P/J Activators is a terrific alternative to the humbucking tone from the usual AXYs, FatBoys, etc. And the Elan with the inline Elan peghead is a little more traditional shape to go with these pickups, that vibe. This pickup combination will require the 'classic' fingerboard/neck width which I really prefer to some of the ridiculously wide fingerboards that some people prefer for multi-string basses. I would love to have one of these myself . . . . IF you were in the market for this kind of shape with that P/J type tone, I'd GO for it, if the bass is suitable to you and in good shape.
