You don't state why you believe so, or indeed how many PRS basses you have actually had contact with ? They are remarkably easy to play (especially if your prefereance is P or Stingray size necks), and balance fantastically. In fact the only bass that I have played that was easier and left me wanting one was not even a tradional design - The Status Streamline. I think its fair to say that your comment is merely unnecasarily confrontational...? [/quote] Well it's all subjective, but a 'baseball bat' neck, a top horn that doesn't reach to the 12th fret and a bottom horn that curls in like a fender are all things I don't like but I concede there are some people, like yourself, who like that. If you've got 7 of them that means you must like them... so I bow to your greater experience. I'm not trying to start a war or anything.

Just bought one of these (from the London Bass show). [b]Pros:[/b] Very good sound, intelligent one controls that really suit me, the toneprint compression is excellent, excellent tuner. Good design. [b]Cons:[/b] The kettle lead is a rather loose fit and I've had to re-insert it a few times. Slight acoustic, high pitched whining noise (not from the fan) from the unit - not a problem for gigs and rehearsals but audible practising at home.

No. You don't want either flatwounds or a P-bass. Get a grip, man.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1362078842' post='1995519'] Reading through the trajectory of this thread I can only conclude that if Lord Lucan had played the bass we would have found him , no problem at all . [/quote]

That's a very poor ergonomic design from nearly every angle.

I've been taken off the Saturday list for some reason but I am going!

We desire increase (you'll notice).

Love his acoustic stuff, don't like his Rockabilly thing or Mitchell Froom's dated production

His fingerstyle is very Stanley Clarke. I'm not sure about that funny clicking and clanking sound he makes with his thumb though.

Hank Marvin is God.

"ash tray face"? C'mon....!

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1360781808' post='1976482'] Unfortunately still at work so can't get there in time Hope gig went well Kev and I hope to make one of your next gigs instead [/quote] There was somebody there with a slight resemblance to you, Clarky, but it wasn't the real Clarky.

Well, I've started using it with the band. I got tears of laughter at the rehearsal. Absolutely the right reaction. Highly recommended. I'm amazed no one here has noticed it.

Great thread! keep 'em coming.
