I just play whatever I feel like playing, maybe a bass I haven't heard in a while and want to remind myself about. They all sound fairly similar to each other but with slightly different voicings. I have more than enough for my needs and the maintenance can be time consuming. At any one time...

I have 7, mostly early to mid-nineties 5 strings. They all have a different variation on thick midrange, which I like to hear on stage for monitoring purposes. They all feel different, though, but I can adjust. At one end of the continuum is a Moon MBC5, which is thick, meaty, and surprisingly...
