Silvertones, I have the P/J version of the same bass. Do not be surprised if the neck is kind of orange - mine is. However, it's a beautiful figured maple that if I really wanted to, I could re-finish to natural, not orange-fake-vintage.

Mine is about 4 years old.

Shielding is nice, pickups are not. They are very microphonic - just be prepared to swap them out. Since I don't ever slap or thumb-pop, I can get by without swapping.
