Ernie Ball flats springs to mind.

I avoid this store and all the other local guitar shops. They keep taking my money!

One of the first bassplayers I was ever introduced to. R.I.P. to a fellow Scot.

Pretty strong consensus on the neck size. As previously stated, wide but not deep. I like mine as it guides my hand to different notes than my jazz bass. It makes me play more within my means. More thought and less speed. A classy feel.

I have a lefty in two-tone burst. Nice and light, thewide neck will give your hand a good workout in an unashamed manner.

I have tennis-elbow in my right arm. No idea how it started. Saw a specialist and got some physio. The physio helps (like the exercises stated above) but the best thing for me was to simply take a break from playing bass. A period of complete rest for any injury is the best method of rehab.

Let me guess, you only asked for a 'light' relic job :-)

I have the Eden wtx264 with Eden 12" cab. Not as powerful as you require so would prob be the 500 to run two cabs. The sound is very natural. Warm and even. Amp head is mega quiet and the DI is great. I use it for feeding the drummer his own signal. Has ground lift too. Tiny footprint this amp. I can manage my bass and whole rig in one carry and Im vertically challenged.

Been thinking of converting one of my two Fender J basses to a stack-knob. Eager to get some feedback from those who use one to understand how the tone differs etc. Is it better or give more options or is the standard concentric setup best with the stack-knob just an aesthetic choice?

Ditto to above. A P bass will sound very different through different amps, speakers, processors etc. The best tone I ever achieved was recording straight D.I. into an old valve-driven Neve desk. Never been able to replicate that tone. Some of the sound is also in your hands.

3 lefty Jap Fenders. 2 J's + a P.

That bound neck and lollipop tuners def do it for me :-)

Only ever had a play on a Schecter guitar. Thought it was very well made with a lot of tonal options.
