    I agree with @yorks5stringer about musicians being undervalued on events like this. Good chance the bar staff and security are being paid so why expect the "entertainment" to work for nothing? Frustrating as we like to perform but show your appreciation by not insulting us.

    Agree the darker fretboard looks better (IMO obviously)

    I had a M2000 with a L2000 neck which I had no issues with. My second M2000 was an absolute joy to play.

    This is the first bass which I thought the red tort plate actually worked aesthetically.

    A quote from "The Bass Lesson" by Victor Wooten when "Michael" suggests that Music is made of 10 equal parts. "Now we have ten different but equal parts of Music: notes, articulation, technique, feel, dynamics, rhythm, tone, phrasing, space and listening." He goes on to describe how he "played space". A great read (or listen, if you have the audio book).

    Not familiar with the actual Yamaha model you're interested in but having owned basses by both marques I can reassure you that you're on the right path. I would be happy with either bass, both punch well above their price point and are very user friendly.

    I defy anybody to write a better bassline to "I want you back" (Jackson 5) or "Forget me nots" (Patrice Rushen). Both basslines are masterpieces and completely left field from what the majority of bass players would have played. Working with original songs, there are so many permutations that what is "better" becomes a matter of style and personal taste.

      I never realised she was a member.  I feel the fairer sex are under represented generally on BC, especially considering how many great female players there are out there.  It would great if she contributed more.
