I guess that kind of settles the conflict, there's no reason I can't play both. Now I just need to figure out if I want to get an A/E bass so I can jam acoustically with groups or just an electric which will require an amp in order to play. Some settings won't allow an amp and most A/E's aren't as loud as they need to be in order to be heard. Now the fun begins,LOL.

Come on man, get a hold of yourself. There will always be guys better than you. Play for yourself and forget about competing with the other guy. Besides, if you go back to bass, you will find a bass player that is good enough to make you want to quit if you keep your same competitive attitude.

This is pretty important to me. Yes, that little bit helps a lot. Many will tell you that all sorts of people with thick pudgy fingers play skinny necks but they also have small, pointy fingertips where it counts the most.

On a 1-11/16 neck I can "barre" two strings with my index fingertip - unbent at the joint - so...

I would go electric bass.

I'd order the shrimp as an appetizer and go with the prime rib.

Looks great ! Perhaps a little bit darker than the rest of the headstock, but I doubt you'd be able to notice the difference if you were more than a foot or two away. If you don't mind me asking, how much did that set you back? I've been tinkering with the idea of getting a new truss rod cover for my S12 (just a generic plastic one on there now), but I don't want to spend a ton of money on it.
