That’s ok buddy - different folks different strokes.
G&L are fine fine basses - I just think that the MFD’s are too much and too in your face with less refinery than the LB for example, I always felt it was a fight.
For me then MFD’s are best straight to amp/desk - any pre amps before an amp - it was hard to dial in for me. I went through 2 ASAT’s and an L1500.
Either which way - cracking bass you will get as stock or modded.
Enjoy!!
