Asymmetrical necks way back in the 90s. Nice neck heel carve. Stringer laminated into neck to stop the neck bowing. Attractive ash. Modern styling but not silly looking. Cool as.
I think Michael Tobias invented asymmetrical Bass neck or was very early to incorporate that idea into his instruments.

Growler set up with a Sadowsky New Blue Flats by TG. Smooth but got big punch on tap.
If I go back to Pub Rock Covers Band would probably gig this as #1 of the 4 string basses
I do want to sell / part trade the other one so if anyone is interested let me know

Something will happen
Invariably the winner will be out of town, not read the auction properly and f*** the freight up.
It’s a nice instrument but I don’t need 4 Active 4 string Basses.
I’m not sure I could sell the Steinberger or the Stingray Fretless so it was one of the Growlers.

Even a beginner instrument these days is miles above what we had back in the day! </ok_boomer>

This Hondo P Bass copy also acts as a longbow in times of street fighting

My first guitar was a Hondo strat, it was probably still better than me.
