The consistancy all the way up the neck makes it easier for me to switch from lower to high notes a little more seamlessly (is that a word?). Seems to put off a little bit of fatigue as the strings being closer together makes for less effort moving around the fretboard. At first I found that I had to adapt slap style playing when doing pull offs on the D string, but that didn't take long. My kingbass is only my first Status, I played several other brands with the standard spacing previously until I got the KB, and now I prefer !6.5mm spacing, and stumble on my other basses when I pick them up. Having said that. there are other players here that have several Status who can give you real side by side comparisons (Themoo, Don Prince, Damon, beany..and so on). Personal preferance may have a lot to do with it...
