Congrats on your new bass. Amazing colors on it. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of maple necks but your bass does it justice because the colors flow so well!

It’s a Stu Hamm signature bass, but not an actual autograph. I plan on getting his autograph when I go to see his Master Class at Sweetwater in May.
I couldn’t make up my mind between a P, J, or P/J, so I did one better and found his signature Fender Urge II on Reverb.

I love it so far… The neck is a little chunkier than my Yamaha, but it seems to be a little easier to maintain technique (if THAT makes sense). The sound is exactly what I was looking for: thumpy P and burpee J at the same time.
It’s also 34" with a full two octaves.

Yes, I have experienced the same thing.
Not when I was first starting up, the thin necks really seemed like they were way easier to play and I thought I would ONLY like them. I still prefer them, but when I play a chunkier neck, I find, when doing multi string fingering and , especially finger rolls across multiple strings (with hammer on’s on more than one string) that I am more accurate on the chunkier necks.

That’s quite a bass you’ve got there, @JPHaggerty . . . 
Wish you lots of happy playing and great success with it 
Cheers

@jazzbass19 Thanks, Joe! I was just poking around discord and found the 50 songs in 100 weeks challenge. Should do nicely to warm up the new bass a little. LOL

That makes total sense. I went from a skinny Ibanez to a fat P-clone and have never looked back.
I recently bought a Ray4, as I love the sound, but I found it so difficult to play because of the narrow neck, that in several weeks I did only one B2B less on on it, preferring the P. So, back she went.

Killllller!
Gorgeous bass.
Stu is a San Franciscan. We met at a bass day at the music store I worked at, and I hit him up for a lesson.
He is a patient and gracious guy.
I wish I could take a do-over on that lesson… but 2 things he taught me in that hour I still think about and work on:
Practice slow. Slower than slow.
If you want to do excellent tapping, work out tapping with all four fingers of the RH in the same way you work on playing with all four fingers of the left hand.
Great bass from a great guy and a killer bassist.
