You can do a lot with EQ and pickup selection to shape the tone. Even with all the quality basses mentioned, you may find one that just simply plays better for YOU that enables you to play more naturally and ultimately get the difficult runs and licks in given your own physical make up. Lots...

After playing guitar for a few decades I found my way into my first band playing bass a couple years ago. Being used to the shorter scale length of a guitar made it more difficult for me to transition to a standard 34" scale. I'm not a big guy, and the one finger per fret thing was an issue...

Everything I want and need except the string spacing. Love the hollowbody design of these jokers! This is a stunner and at some point I will have one built. I have a 32" Jazzus and a 30" Elwood from Maruszczyk and their builds are second to none. Curious what strings you have on it. Are...
