although I have 5 basses 1 is my homemade fretless, 1 is a 5iver, so the majority of my gigging should be split between the Jazz, my beaten up ole Yam with the green strings, or the Epi EB3 I bought from BC. I love the Epi, but is a bit of a 1 trick pony, The Jazz is great, especially with the John East pre fitted, buts its heavy and I get an annoying 'clonk' off the E string which I have yet to sort out. So my battered Yam is still the best bass I have ever bought...for peanuts, and is always the one I reach for 1st.
