I use a B2 for just about all of my gigs. Its versatile and bullet proof and covers a good deal of ground in terms of tone. I will caution you that it does not sound like an all wood instrument, and sometimes I do pull out a P-bass in order to get an old school passive wood bass sound. The other thing to keep in mind is the 26 fret neck. It is loooong. While I feel like its a p-bass on steroids you really want to be playing Entwistles style with your right forearm resting in the "wing" of the body to get optimum balance. Also, it makes any other instrument feel like a toy because of its length. If you are not willing to make the commitment to these differences you might want to look at another Status model with 24 frets and a more standard feel. Whichever one you get it will sound great.
