Pretty much, Have an Acoustic Bass and an Ibanez Mezzo also. I don't know what it is about the Mustang, but just feels so right, and have it sounding really good.Great set of instruments!
Are they all you play?

It’s time again to galore the Jericho Alpha.
The Sun goin’ down in JoJa…
my Cort Curbow 5…the only 5 I own…
I bought some new Ernie Ball Power Slinkys to celebrate the World Series.
Light as a pair of feathers…Perfectly balanced…NOT designed for sitting down and playing on your knee…The straightest, truest neck I’ve ever played.
I have Huge Respect for Cort basses…enough so that I own another; an ABG.
The kid described this one as ‘Bowling Ball Orange’.
$300 off the wall at GC, 1999…

This Sterling Ray24CA Butterscotch arrived 4 hours earlier today.
I've been wondering whether the Fullerton Fallout was worth the price difference. When I saw the pearl grey with maple FB I was smitten, and I thought "I'll sell my Tribute version to help pay for it." I think the US G&L is worth it, though it sounds the same. The finish on the neck is completely different, as is the quality of wood. The tuners say G&L on them but are really no better than the ones on the Tribute. Same with the rest of the hardware and electronics. After taxes, I will be out over $1k over what the Tribute will bring after shipping. I will definitely keep the US one and sell the Tribute, but it really says a lot about the quality of East Asian instruments at their price-point. The alder is a little bit lighter too, but I'm hard pressed to find advantages of the US Fallouts.
How often do you see a fretless PB-50?

Did you pull the frets and fill the slots? If so - a very neat job! If from the factory - I find it curious why they started with a fretted fb as the fret-tang marks reveal.
That's right: I've pulled the frets out, filled the slots with maple veneer & put a CA glue finish on it. More details in this post. Below you'll find some photos I took during the procedure.

Well done good sir.
Sire Marcus Miller M7. She came home today.
Awesome bass guitar and she is a beauty! Sire rules!
New bass day. Sterling RayHH. Can’t guess why the guy sold this. Has some fine fretwork done such that it is sporting silly action. I may have to add some contrasting hardware because I lost it for a day since it is so black on black. It was just in a shadow.
Given to me by a co-worker who was also a drummer after hearing me play my favorite Geddy Lee bass line. It has stuck ever since. Much appreciated!
