yeh, my god its amazing, i play alota funk slap/ rock..kinda like the red hot chili peppers, but i use alota harmonics like jaco, and alot more slap rythms like wooten, but i do play alot rockesh heavy stuff too and it sounds amazing...i didnt wanna go with the sting ray casue the neck was just to wide and i wanted the pick up selection. check out my band, so u can get an idea of what i sound like .. http://www.purevolume.com/tnjs ... these are 3 songs that portray the 3 different styles we have on our full length. but the bass u hear on cd is my jazz, i hadnt goten the sterling yet, but what ever

Cool, I will check out your band. I'm debating between the sterling and the bongo. I'm torn. I love the thin neck on the sterling but when I heard the bongo it seems to have a really fat sound. I use harmonics in my playing also. I love jaco & flea. But this band is pop/rock so I need a fat sound. Did you check out the bongo?
Thanks
