I have three. Adding one this November hopefully. 1. Fender Jazz 70's RI 2. Warwick LX Jazzman 3. Lakland Tetsuya Signature

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1410881346' post='2554241'] Was it to do with neck radius? I was surprised at just how thick the necks are, definitely not the most playable of beasts. [/quote] Partly. I found the neck just a tad bit wider than my preferred. It was mostly because of the tone, it sounds good on some songs but didn't quite worked out on some ([b]for me anyway! don't shoot me for this![/b]) and the size of it as well. I'm only little! It was a blind purchase anyway so I traded it. Looking at some Sterlings at the moment. It might work out this time!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1410636947' post='2551549'] That is what my black SR5 sounds like, the bass in the clip being a Sterling it has a pickup selector and the ceramic pickup like some SR5s (1993-2007ish?), she is an untameable beast but what a beast she is [/quote] I should've gone for a Sterling on my first Musicman purchase. I never really got on with my Stingray sadly.

lawdy lawd!!!

Get it!

Not sure about the headstock decal. Might be just me. (I'm not a Fender expert)

Finger player here. I lean towards finger playing mainly because I have an incredibly weak grip. So I tend to drop off picks on the middle of the song. But I'm still persevering though as I find it easier to play some songs using a pick. And mainly because I try to copy Bobby Vega style. So yeah. Just give it a try. Another technique in the bag.

Always wanted a SS2. drooollss

As been mention above G&L, Laklands, Fenders, Rays. And don't forget Yamaha TRBs. I like their preamp more than my Lakland at the moment if I'm honest.

Neck is awesome.Very light. Lighter than the Warwick. Very comfortable overall. And as you would expect, good tone. Maybe a little different from LH3, but still good.

I have one.

I feel you. I myself have some shoulder problems. Been to the physio a lot. I've switched to lighter basses now, anything near 9lbs I can't play standing up for half an hour or so. Get well soon!
