Very tidy. What board/case is it all housed in?

I read this thread with great interest as I have noticed a similar problem with my Sandberg JM5 (tuned E-C). It was great to see all the potential fixes documented here so a personal thanks to all those who contributed. I may very well go down the route of a hi-mass bridge too. I see you went with the Fender one, so just wondering what people's thoughts are regarding alternatives? Anything particularly recommended or advised to stay away from? Cheers.

Curly/figured (designer) wood.

I've been tentatively eyeing up the pedals for a long while now. Would also love to hear others experiences before taking the plunge.

Mostly guitar related here, but who says Fender aren't prepared to try something ummm knew? https://www.gearnews.com/leak-fender-parallel-universe-jaguar-strat-troublemaker-tele-whiteguard-strat-jazz-tele/ The Strat body with Jag face is particularity terrible.

That looks quality. I want one.

I was just going through the Bass Direct website and I came across the Aero PJ (some more albeit limited information can be found here: http://www.aeroinstrument.com/pj.html) There doesnt seem to be much info on these pups so was just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience?

Stunner! Love every feature. I am kind of new to the Limelight brand, where can one find information on specs and quotes etc?

My pedals have as much material and sentimental value as my bass, therefore, hard case all the way for me.

Okay, thats good information. I will have a search now. One further quick question... my J & M style pickups are run by an active 2 band preamp (as is the way with active Sandbergs). Is this likely to complicate the matter when it comes to adding series/parrellel switching?

Interesting. Do you know of any online reseources showing how this can be done?

Yeh, cheers for all the insight people. I think in the interest of balance I will save the pennies for a suitable second hand P Bass. I was hoping to avoid the possibility of having to transport multiple basses but it looks to be the most suitable way, especially given that my bass as it is is all I need it to be and dont want to risk negatively affecting it. Thanks

Generally, I am finding myself in agreement. The issue (as always) is finances... I recently played a Fender American Elite P and it blew me away. As did the price tag. Since when did basses become so pricey?!

I am currently exploring the idea of modifying the sound of my (old (and better) shape) Sandberg JM5 with stock Delano pickus. Overall, I love the sounds of the bass. Its capable of pretty much any bass sound I can care to imagine... but with one notable exception, that straight up gnarly P bass sound. Therefore I am thinking of making some kind of change. My first thought was to purchase the Delano P shape pickup but I am not 100% convinced by rerouting the body and having to replace the pickguard etc.. This leaves me with option B, a P bass sound in a Jazz bass shape... Does such a thing exist? I have read a few product descriptions online but I am hoping to tap into the collective wisdom of the Basschat community. Does anyone have any direct experience on this kind of thing? Option C would be to buy a new P bass flavour bass but hoping to avoid that for the time being. Any help would be greatly received. Many thanks.

Nice. What patch cables are you using here?

Input appreciated. The only slight issue here is that the other 2 100mA outputs would be used to power other pedals (3 in total) so I am likely to be already pushing the limits. Ideally I just need to find out if that cable combo is suitable. Alternatively, I could go for the Strymon Ojai but that would involve a bit of pedalboard modification (which I cant really be bothered with) and the 2 part power supply isnt ideal either.
