As far as bass goes, I've had 3 in my lifetime. One was a cheap P-Bass knockoff I bought at a garage sale.

The MTD is great, but honestly the L-2000 smokes it in terms of versatility, and I think the MFD's sound just as good as the Bartolini pickups in his "boo-teek" bass.

Now you have a couple of sweet G&L basses there. I am not as familiar with G&L basses as I am the 6 strings and I need to spruce up. I had seen the L5000 mentioned before but didn't know what it was. It has a Z coil and a three bolt neck to boot. What year is this beauty? I think lowenders are coming out of the woodwork. Mr Rounded, thanks for the confession and I glad that you didn't have a third one telling us that you had stole it from some soul who would die without it!!! --- Darwin

Here is my question, It has a birdseye neck and do I leave the headstock natural or paint it to match the body? The logo will be restored either way.
The next question is, The neck has oil stains on the fretboard from playing and that has a certain appeal to me. Do I sand it out or leave it? Let me know what you folks think on this.
Final question is why are you a bass player.

I have seen many of your posts in the past and posts on basses in general and it goes without saying that when Ken speaks, you better listen. You are a wealth of information as are a lot on this forum.
The low E is probably a .130 and I can visualize the neck bowing.
I did that to a computer one time by applying 180VDC to 6VDC circuit boards. It sounded like the 4th of July.

As to B strings, the only one I've ever heard ring to my satisfaction was on a Dingwall fanned fret bass. It was 38ish inch scale. Moved and sounded great. Not sloppy.
