I actually like the blue sparkle better, the purple one is a bit "pimpy".

OK, OK, I'll leave the Epi TRC for now. I'm familiar with the Ric Police, but not the Epi Police.  ;) It's mostly obscured by strings anyway.

So this bass... It's made a T-bird lover out of me. It hangs on my body unlike any other 'bird I've played (which is admittedly few). Very much like my Alembic or former Epi Explorer. No real neck dive to speak of. And it's light. I haven't plugged it in yet, but soon enough. I'll probably bring it to Who's Who rehearsal on Sunday. Love the neck. The guy put TI Jazz flats on it. Those will go to another bass to make room for my usual DR Hi Beams.

Anybody wanna buy a Peavey 6 string bass?  ;D Gotta make room and appease the wife. https://reverb.com/item/81110366-peavey-tl-six-6-string-bass-bartolini-upgrade

 The pickups are bright, I'm going to some SIT Power Steels on mine, they have more bass, lo-mid and mid presence.

Yours isn't, the Epi was. Yours has a purdy tone, the Epi looks trailer park.
