I'm used to playing a 5 or 6 string bass so I've had to "retool" the way I play a bit.
But mostly, I love it because it just sounds SO good. The way I play is directly related to the way I sound. If the instrument sounds like crap, I'm just not going to play as well.
I also love it that this is the bass I started on 23 years ago. It's like coming back home.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
