On sale through April 9, which usually means the sale ends early on the 9th, so buy on Monday the 8th if you want one.
$320 shipped for a neck-through, active 5-string bass is a slick deal.
These were $800 when they came out, and are still $600 at Sweetwater/GC/MF.
They're listed as "Used- Mint" but come new in box.

The 4-string is available in black and "Rocket Red" (actually traffic cone orange) for the same price.

Even if you forget once or twice, the battery lasts for days and days of continuous use. I've never had a battery run out in the middle of practicing or playing out. Just keep a spare 9V in your gig bag and change it once every year or two. You can do the tongue test on the battery in your bass to see if it's getting low before a gig if you're really worried.
I like active EQ on basses because standing right in front of and above the amp doesn't tell you what you sound like in the room. Active EQ lets you adjust your sound from out in front, where you can hear it. You'll often find that what sounds great standing over your amp is a woofy mess in the room.

There is also a white version, a matte army green version, and a sunburst version that looks even more like a Ric, but none of those are on sale.

Looks like the sale has some other decent deals on guitars and basses including some Sadowsky Jazz and P basses in the same price range as these Jacksons:

They have the 4-string in white, but it's $400.
There are a lot of other solid deals, though I think the CBXNT is the best.
Spectra Bass IV, Army Drab or Black $319.20 ($500 at Sweetwater)

If someone who knows more about the other brands they carry can go through the Franklin Guitar Works sale pages and point out other great deals, I'm sure we've all got some rep waiting for you!
