i understand what is being said here. but, and maybe im the only one that does this...there are times that i will change basses 4 times in a set. some songs call for some sounds, and some sounds call for some feels, and some feels can only be obtained with certain basses. hence i change when i feel i need to. for instance the alembic as good as it is i will never use for slap n pop. the jazz set slightly to the rear pick up and the treb rolled back a bit slaps great. the smith rolled mostly to the back pickup and the treb almost off has such great attack and is so sharp and snappy for finger runs with the emulator for a fretless style playing (melissa ehteridge, come to my window). so i change the basses for the feel of the song and the tone that generates therof.
