What are MM basses like to play compared to "boutique" instruments?

I tame the EQ on my Stingray with a compressor pedal. That means I can leave everything flat EQ wise on shared backline or rehearsal room amps, then use the three band pre-amp EQ to tweak my sound. The compressor takes care of volume changes from the EQ twiddling and from my somewhat heavy picking.

Well it's like, for Versatility I've got 3 go to basses. ATM I think I'm fed up of Having to EQ as much as I do, just looking for simplistic, easy playing but badass sounding

I find that for me, the EQ on the MM basses is too much of an incentive to twiddle! I've gigged and recorded with a MM before, borrowed it from a mate to use whilst gigging and recording as I was interested in buying one myself, however I just couldn't get on with it. I've instead opted for a P and a 4003.

I certainly find my P is my main bass currently, partly due to the fact it's easy to stick in the soft case and carry around and partly cause the ric could do with a setup!
