If it plays good, sounds good and feels good, it IS good.

Otherwise, DGAF, and that ain't no progression.

Are you sure? I'd always thought the term slab body meant that it didn't have tummy or wrist contours. The slab body precision still has a radius on it's edge, doesn't it? I'm probably wrong, or misunderstanding the question, but that's what I always thought slab body meant.

All about the RIM Marseer body for me.

And the LeFay Remington Steele

Yes. I have a pre-eb Stingray, also a slab body, no gut gap nor forearm rounding but rounded square edges. I love it.

I'm open to most things...so long as the headstock doesn't have three tuning pegs on one side and one on the other. That really gets on my tits.

My Tune TWB-6. It was love at first sight. Bought s/h from the Bass Centre back in '97.

Looks aren't the be-all and end-all to me, but I will ignore just about any J, P or MM shaped bass. I like the swoopy look - Ritter, Sei Flamboyant, that sort of thing, and to a lesser extent the Peavey Cirrus and Grind.

Playability does trump all though - when I bought my Thumb, it was because it was the most playable bass I'd ever picked up, though it looked rather odd to me (after a Hayman 40/40 and a P).
