The Oil finish is a slightly warmer sound/feel than the Lacquer which can sound/feel quicker/brighter IF, both basses are made EXACTLY the same. But, they are NOT. The Elite/EG has a 5-pc body and that is also quicker/brighter as well. THAT is IF, you use the exact same body woods. Use different woods and the comparison is apples and oranges. It is all relevant!
