Has a nice slim rickenbacker style neck and nice 24 fret scale. It can sound Dry and Crisp or real muddy or punchy. Perfect for my studio applications ... And best of all ...

I own a Gibson Les Paul Double Cut (later model with walnut "tone plate") which by and large is the same bass as the Money. I have to say that I really enjoy playing these basses - they have the small body/huge long neck aesthetic/ergonomic going on that I really like. They balance pretty well if you're worried about that short top horn, but I do use a wide neoprene strap, I don't tend to use slippy straps so I can't comment on those. They sound great, a simple passive VVT bass that just works. It's probably the TB+ pickups. I've had three basses with these pickups and what they all have in common is that I just turn up to the gig, plug in and play and it's unusual to require much EQ tweaking to be heard in the band context - standard sad face on the graphic then away you go.

Did I mention they're bloody great looking? Have a bump and GLWTS :)

Thanks for your comment and the bump neepheid! I'll be gutted if I have to sell it but I need the cash and I'm not playing with the band or working on any music at the moment so it doesn't see any action these days! If I still have it after a few weeks I might be able to just keep it which would be great! But yeah I know what you mean; just plug and play, I never used any effects or amps with this when playing live, just a good clean DI straight into the desk with a split from the DI into an amp on stage to serve as a monitor and let the bass speak for itself; beautiful!
