To Lewis Therin:
G&L actually have 5 neck options to choose from. Mine is the baseball bat you speak of, but I've gotten used to it, and actually prefer it over Jazz style necks. As for the electronics, you can switch it in to passive mode (which is where it usually is set for me). Honestly I don't know why more G&L's aren't used for metal; their pups are some of the most "hot" out there. Some people complain of noise while in active mode, but I don't get any.
Gav:
You've already got me... maybe one of these days I'll let you touch my bass....
Deemo:
I show off my bass any time I can

But this was just a rip off idea fom the Schecter thread, which was a rip off of some other "official thread" I jsut wanted to see how many other G&L brothers I have out here in MX bass land.
Bryce:
I was super close to getting a MM before the ASAT. The reason I went for the G&L was its versatility. I absolutley LOVE the MM tone, but when you buy a MM, that's really all you get. With this I can get quite a few different tones from it, though generally I don't mess with the tone too much after I've found a combo I like. I think they are both great basses, and some day I'd like a MM... but that's down the list after I get a vintage P
