Nice review as always, thanks. I've one of these CV P basses in vintage white, bought from a fellow basschatter a couple of years ago. It's a really great bass which looks, sounds and feels good. At these prices no upset if you drop it and cause damage. I think the bridge is fine and does the job, as does the pickup.

Slap bass-ist... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-65558954.amp

Eliminate both guitarists and replace with a single committed individual with adecent amount of emotional intelligence. Might mean taking longer to get out there gigging but worth it IMO.

I can't say I remember any neck dive at all

I've been surprised at how realistic some programmed bass guitar lines have sounded recently.

Heard this on radio 2 this morning, new single from Jason Mraz. Nothing revolutionary just a nice bit of funky bass guitar which is very prominent in the mix. I'm guessing a 5 string Jazz type instrument... Please don't tell me it's programmed 🥺

What a chart, Wow!

This is exactly the sort of post which convinces me why I just can't stay off Basschat 🙂

Warning: Boring comment alert....🤓 I found myself in central London today so I decided to have a look around the music shops. Found the Yamaha shop and left wondering if they actually want to sell anything to the general public. Beautifully presented shop but those prices....whoa! I wanted another go on a BB P34 as i think they're tasty. They were marked up as around £1.5k - WHAT?! As soon as you walk out of the shop with that you've lost £600 as they fetch £850-950 second hand. Also, the one I played had some serious hum. The other places down the road on Denmark St were nice though. I still like the P34 though and if I had some cash burning a hole in my pocket I'd be vulnerable....

Had anyone mentioned Norman Watt Roy yet?

+1 for these three. Les Claypool and Mark King from me please 🙏

What's the weight like on these? I just don't get on with Jazzes but I'm smitten with this 🥰
