Well, I like it! I find it difficult to describe adequately, having played few basses against which to compare it. I can say it's a lot more like yours than it is like the Stentor, open-sounding rather than "thuddy", and I guess I can expect it to open up some more as time passes. To be fair, it is already 2 years old, and the Stentor was brand new, but I really don't know how much difference that might make. Over and above all that, though, it's much better looking!
Perhaps I should bring it around to yours at some point, Richard -- it'd be good to hear it played from out front. It gets its first outing this evening at rehearsal, and I'm looking forward to playing it in context (even if it is country).
