I dont have a Duff sig, But I have owned 3 of the original MIJ Jazz bass specials, on which the Duff signature is based, and I had no trouble with any of them, and they will be significantly cheaper to buy, if you can find one.

The main difference between them and a standard Fender which has PJ pickups is the TBX (treble/bass cut) tone pot. This works by having a centre notch which to my ear was the point where a normal tone pot would end. After that it adds what I could only describe as a real 'zing' to the sound.

Also the Duff bass has a Seymour Duncan J pickup, which can only be a good thing in my opinion!

Just listen to any record which Duff is playing on and you get a good feel for what its gonna sound like. Although for reference if you listen to Apetite for destruction, to my ear that was recorded by just using the Jazz pickup, and obviously with a pick, not fingerstyle..
