spade2you has really put things right though, with his post

Someone has to do it, otherwise what's the value in another "what's your favorite bass" thread?

From the massive and detunable B of a Dingwall to the upright tone of a Rob Allen almost every luthier has strong suits and special tricks that are cool, but can't necessarily replace others. It all boils down to what you need and who does that.
