Now you know why've I become addicted to them. Can't take any other bass to gig with at the moment because I'm hooked on using them. Enjoy!

This is quite a different beast to a P. It's like a "pimped" P bass. Although you can get a Precision or Jazz sound out of it, it's quite zingy. That said, it cuts through the mud of guitars and drums live really well and sounds great when I play "Down In The Tube Station" or "Town Called Malice" on it.

Sounds great. Its more the neck size im interested in. Im looking for something wider at the nut than a Jazz but narrow like a Jazz up the other end.

Make sure you try rolling off the volume, treble and bass pots in varying amounts.

I play my US L2000 with about 3/4 vol, 3/4 bass and between 3/4 and no treble, depending on the sound I want. I also almost always play in passive mode. Move your right hand up over the neck with the treble rolled off, neck pickup in series and (particularly with a set of flats on it) you'll get lovely woody mellowness. Move your hand back towards the bridge and get the zing and snarl back - maybe flick to both pickups or even just bridge pup.
