I just made a major "cleaning" of the livingroom. In my bass corner, there were some ten basses hanging on the wall. And my very big 43.3" acoustic upright bass standing on its tripod stand. Kinda crowded. Now there is just one electric bass on the wall: my Sklar. All the others - including the old Voodoo Prima 6 - are packed in their cases in the music room in the basement. I find myself grabbing the Amethist Sklar all the time, so why not? The Sklar can make all the tones I need/use with my playing technique and style. No preamp tweaking or fiddling with pots, just fingering. And - it is easier to clean the house...
