Great idea...
I imagine everyone else is the same, but you just can't help skekking what the bassist is playing. If you watch something like Glastonbury or Live 8, there are loads of P & J basses, so anything a bit special will stand out like a sore Thumb (sorry about that).
Also interesting to know the style of music played.... but my view is... if I like the bass, I'll play any style with it... and if the band don't like it, it's time to move on... I'm not buying another P-bass for anyone!
By the way, "Thumperton" is by far the coolest name on this forum!!!
