For me, the body design of the Stanley Clarke just doesn't completly work for me. As I have posted before, it is fine sitting down, but strapped on I can't make it work (no upper horn). I normally play Fender-style basses and wear them very high - so this just doesn't quite work. That being said, it sounds *perfect* to me and plays like a dream... It really is a dream bass and I love it in many ways, but for the money I would rather have the same feel and sound but in a more Fender-esque body style (i.e. the Europa, Rogue, MK, etc). That's all... I have had it for the better part of a year and that's just where it is at, but in the meantime it is a great bass to have around and play occasionally. I am thinking that ultimately I need to just have my dream Europa built for me...
Thanks,
Andy
