I sold it to a friend who decided to try playing bass and he loves it. For me, it was simply an ergonomic issue. Something about it just didn't quite fit "me" and when I just stopped playing it because I was tired of fighting it to try learning to love it, I decided I had to let it go. But the sound, the looks, the versatility ... wow. Yeah, a beast of a bass.
Hasn't stopped me from wanting to try one again someday, though.![]()
