Now that you mention it, I should have mentioned the few things that every
bass suffers from:

1. Dead spots on the neck. Every bass I've owned has had a dead note - not
necessarily a spot as much as a resonant note that is dead, no matter
where on the neck it's played. I've read this is inherent in wooden-neck
instruments, and graphite is immune, but I could never afford a
graphite-neck bass.

2. Neck-heavy balance. What's a bass without being neck-heavy?

It's called a Peavey Cirrus 4 string. :-)
