I think he means how much did the pickups cost..

I've got an SR400 and I must say that this line of basses are great. The slim neck is so fast and they just have such a unique tone that I love. I have to agree that the standard pickups don't leave much room for tone variation but do the job fine. The strap-pegs are bit crap though.

Its a great bass for modification sake. Nothing beats the neck on these babies and thats what I love; Live playing is where I live and this bass is perfect (just make sure you either put in strap locks or gaffer tape your strap on!! - especially if you jump around as much as I do.)

I picked mine up 2nd Hand (in perfect condition with the pickup stickers still on!) for AUD$230 (US$160 - Retail list price in Australia is $AUD899 so it was a bargain.)
