I tried Jamie's LB-100 a while back and that neck profile was perfect IMO. Do any of you lowenders know if there's a Tribute model bass with the same neck profile? I could see one in my future, especially since Darwin has such a high opinion of his Tribute bass.

Kind of bluesy mood these days for a variety or reasons, therefore my Epi Lucille gets the most playing time lately.y2kc wrote:What are you playing today?
