Thanks for the replies everyone, all very helpful. I ended up doing as Paul suggested as a quick fix and it worked perfectly. I'm getting buzzing from the P pickup as expected, but I can live with it - it sounds so much better now. Thanks again!

Cool, I'll try that - did you get any buzz when soloing the P pickup?

Hi all, I recently aqcuired a 70s Precision which has (I think) a DiMarzio Ultra Jazz fitted at the bridge. Each pickup sounds fine individually, but having them both on full makes the E and A strings sound out of phase. D&G both sound as expected, so I'm assuming one half of the P pickup is out of phase with the J pickup. I've currently got it wired VVT. One weird thing is the out of phase effect is strongest when I have the Jazz on full and the P at about 95% - still only on the E&A with the D&G unaffected. I've got another P with an added J pickup that doesn't have these issues - any ideas? Cheers

Great chap to deal with - very patient and helpful, and the bass was perfectly packed for shipping. Buy with confidence!

I bought Theo's MIJ P Bass - great guy to deal with, and very up-front about the bass' quirks. Great chap to chat to as well! Cheers again!

The previous owner had it refinished in nitro just before selling it to me, I love it. How does the P pickup sound so close to the bridge on your Rascal bitsa? I've got an old Hondo which has a P pickup in the Stingray position, it sounds huge!

Here's mine - 1988 MIJ Fender jazz body and a 2004 US neck. Most of the hardware and electronics are from my parts bin, but it plays brilliantly! Lowest action of any bass I've had before. [url="http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/IMG_20170225_142741_zpszddfycxm.jpg.html"][/url]

[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1494232357' post='3294089'] £1200 is a great price for a new bass, but if you are prepared to hold out you can get one for approx £700 second hand. There is one on here/eBay/Facebook/gumtree in surf green I think in Southampton. [/quote] Sure is, it's mine! They're really great basses, and to be honest I'm on the verge of keeping mine if it doesn't sell before I move. It's an older one with the 'classic' Fender body shape and Delano pickups (which I agree are more hi-fi than old-school). I've found the P/MM set up sounds something like a ballsy P/J. I'm guessing the one you played was one of the newer body shapes? I'd love to have a go on one.
