How does it compare to a standard Jazz bass?

Have you looked at LaBella Black Nylon Tapewounds? Have heard a lot of good things about them.

Tim GuitarsOnTheWeb wrote:I'll have to see if I can find the photo's, but we bought the 2 proto-type semi-hollow ASAT Basses that G&L originally made for a distributor (I want to say in Germany) who changed their mind. One was in a Honeyburst and the other Silver Sparkle. My wife used to do the photography back in the day for the website and we're talking 35mm as we didn't have a digital camera. If I find them, I'll post it.
