Is the JS3V series of basses good?

[lhrocker]

I'm looking to get another 5 string bass. I have a Warwick double buck 5 as my primary and a Jackson C5M as a backup. I like the Dave Ellefson model, but it only has 21 frets. I know that electronics can always be swapped out, but what is the construction and hardware of the JS3V like? Is it a solid platform for modding, like the SLX model guitars?

many people on talkbass have them, either they like them to death or hate them with a passion...depends I suppose what you like.

I got a JS3V about 3 or 4 months ago and it's fantastic for the price. I'm not primarily a bassist, but I do prefer it to an Ibanez BTB1405E that I won in a Sweetwater giveaway. That says something seeing that the BTB1405 is a $1500 bass, where I was able to get the JS3V for about $300.
