Tremor Deluxe

Hands down, my favorite bass ever made. Solid body/neck thru design provides incredible sustain. EMG pick-ups provide perfect tone at any sound level. Thin neck is fast and provides easy access, even to a fifth string. Second octave gets a little tight, though - but that's not important to me.
