Here's a bit of an oddball, I'm looking for some hot (we're talking 14k +) p bass pups for a project I'm working on to get a super aggressive rock/overdriven tone. Got a small budget of £35, so may have to buy used, but what pups are on the market within budget? The more nasty and dirty the better. 😁

I was in Sunderland last weekend, could have picked up the yammie then. I've never had good experiences with peeps on gumtree.

Some of the VM range is every bit as good as the CV's. Some VMs sound and play better than CVs and visa-versa.

Perfect 🤘

Lol, no strings. What are you thinking, flats?

D'Addario ENR71 Half Rounds 45-100, only has around an hour play time on them. Cut for a Fender headstock. I recently switched to short scale, and have ss half rounds on that, and don't need the long scale, hence sale. Postage £2 via Royal Mail.

Nice rig Cat, the Orange sound is by far my favourite dirty bass tone.

Vintage V4SB with La Bella's and you are golden.

Recently picked up a SX short scale p bass and I'm impressed with the quality, as good as any Fender MIM I've played, slapped on some D'Addario half rounds and it's my goto bass.

One of my favourite heads of all time, not in the best condition, but a decent price... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acoustic-370-bass-amp-head-vintage/254204770984?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D41e0d75aa9f541af8c3fcd5d2c1b27e7%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D254204770984%26itm%3D254204770984&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A770ea5d4-62b2-11e9-a052-74dbd18025a6|parentrq%3A3613c04a16a0a9e3ae844cfdffe90d4e|iid%3A1

Unbranded one piece solid maple precision bass neck ('57 style and would suit a '57 replica build) fully loaded with tuners, neck plate and screws. A nice straight neck, trussrod fully working, skunk stripe, satin finish, missing a dot inlay on third fret which has been filled with marker pen. This is a used neck and as a result has knocks, dings and some paint marks to top, none of which affect how the neck plays, but if you are looking for a mint condition neck this is not for you. The previous owner had removed logo/brand name from headstock when I aquired it, so don't know its origin and foolishly didn't ask seller, but sure it's not Fender licenced. Does have standard Fender p bass dimensions at nut and heel, would make an ideal upgrade to a Squier or even a '57 partcaster. Postage to UK only for £8.50 (inc tracking).

So f'ing cool.

What sort of P bass sound are you wanting, vintage or modern? We can give better advice if we know a few specifics? Fender or Squier Japanese basses are resoundingly excellent. Like Lozz196 says, newer MIM fenders or Vintage V4 reissue's are very good basses. Also Squier CV or Matt Freeman basses are decent as well.

I love these basses, lots of warm and fat bass. Yum.
