I'll second that sproing!!! I took the flats off the Greco and swapped them for the steels that were on the Bruce Johnson. Wow, it's so good. Raucous is a good way to describe it when you dig in. It's huge, full and biting. That very well may be the best $650 I've ever spent on a bass. I have to stop to eat now. My stomach is trying to consume itself. What a great bass. I feel lucky.
