My "Phoenix" G&L L2000

I find tone development on graphite necks so immediate, you're initially always ahead of the beat if you switch from a wood neck bass! I have a Status Stealth II and its ultra-precise immediacy always throws me off, but you'll never worry again about being audible. The notes seem to rush through the cable at twice the speed. Very mistakes-unforgiving. :mrgreen:

An old Stingray affliction especially in my experience.

This tone development is a fact. I had the bass at one of my regular gigs 2 weeks ago. A good friend was there who has seen us many times and is always good for some valuable feedback regarding my playing/sound. Though not a player himself he's got a good ear. His first comment was exactly that - the bass was very immediate, clear and prominent in presentation, and it was not a function of volume. He said it really punched through the mix, but wasn't overpowering the other players.
In other words, it had Ooomph!! I really like that!!! :mrgreen: 8)

Indeed! That drives me crazy. Not uncommon on many Jazz basses either.
I'm going to re-include some pics - the ones I had here were lost when the free site I was using shut down. Now it's Imgur.
