Yup, because it's your sound. When you ask a bandmate "what do you think of my new guitar (preamp, etc) that sounds exciting and fresh to you, and they respond "hmm, I guess I didn't notice" it's sort of a compliment?I was surprised at the different tones I could get from a simple passive 4 string P bass with flats. It's fun to experiment.
Roscoe and Genzler...great combo.
Oh lawdy that's gorgeous. I hate to ask to refinish mine that way but I've always wanted a vintage LPB. Now I don't even think about vintage with how I love this bass.
Did yours come with the patina on the control plate? Mine is new chrome (bridge also) which wasn't really fitting with the retro/relic vibe. My only minor issue.

Yep! Smooth like Fritz!
Now don’t leave!!!

Maybe you and a few more need to worry about your own playing and lifestyle and you might be happier. Most of how you guys continually make fun of people is what's wrong with our society today.
Or in my case, maybe not as muchI think a “you sound like you” no matter what gear you’re playing is a compliment.
On second though, I think that I'll steal the Koa one instead!![]()
Roscoe and Genzler...great combo.
The BEB is a better bass!! It still has stock electronics. The Koa has the Norstrand Pre-amp.
Both are nice and if you steal one you might as well steal them both!![]()

Well ok!
Both it is!
You have insurance?![]()

My insurance is two pistol carrying Rotties!!![]()
