These do look great & if they have a Jaydee or Alembic thing going on, but lightweight very interesting
The lightweight rig You are using Bassmayhem looks good too 👍

Beautiful got a tear in the eyes remembering when I got mine spanking new like that 35 years ago!!! Lot of water under a lot of bridges since then!

If so try other stuff by Chris -- Beyond and Before, Tempus Fugit & Does it really happen are all fun to learn. Also following from what Rich said practice picking while Palm Muting for a Dubby sound. Also Listen to some Bobby Vega, Colin Hodgkinson, Barry Adamson (Magazine) & John Gustafson (early Roxy M)

You can actually use them on a regular Acoustic Guitar with regular strings. But it's different and You need to pre-excite the string (bending, vibrato, a slide or whatever) & like bigredx said for Bass it's not as essay or fluid as on an Electric guitar
Have a listen to how John Entwistle, Chris Squire, Colin Hodgkinson etc, did it. Do Your follow the chords bit but sometimes arpeggiate & Sometimes play counterpoint to the lead. Work with Your drummer to make a full sound without Guitar & Vocals. Then they add the "Fairy Dust" !!
Edit: Plus what ezbass & doctorJ said -- Full sound & used the space as dynamic
Roadies aren't bolt-on same construction just without some of the binding. Everyone I've tried sound similar to My Series 2 even one that had the black covered pickups
Edit and no laminated neck
