L-2000 vs. ASAT bass; differences?

[fraidykat]

Good morning,

I have an L-2000 spalted bass w maple neck that I love, but now the ASAT bass is catching my eye too.
What are the differences, if any, in the 2 models?

I haven't played an ASAT yet, but my resolve not to purchase another bass is fading fast....

Thanks,
Fraidykat

Tonally, 99.99% the same. Same pups, bridge, etc. I suppose that the difference in the body shape and amount of wood has an impact, but I can't hear it.

There is a difference in the balance of the guitars, the ASAT bass being a bit neck heavy, due to the lack of a horn to put the strap on to.

I have one of each, and love them both.
