I've played one and am still contemplating getting one to compliment my Tanglewood Bass Master Funk Spector-a-like. I was really impressed with how it felt, flat wide neck which I like, tones weren't bad either from only being played in a shop environment. Enjoy your new bass!

That's a tasty looking wee bass!

For those wanting to know - getting a 32.5" scale costs an extra £255 as a custom option.

Look for Hohner Jack 5 Strings. Think they are quite rare but sound like exactly what you are looking for.

So Fender have released a new 4 string Telecaster! Wait, what..... 😂😂😂

Well I have tapes on mine..... Do I have to go and start another rival thread? 😂

Thanks for the advice all! So many nuances in such a simple bass 😅

Hi all, Question for those more knowledgeable of P basses. I'm selling my 2014 US Standard P Bass and a buyer has asked me how closely it relates to a 62 Reissue with this video attached. I don't really know how to reply so if anyone could help I would really appreciate it! Attached photo is my 2014 US Standard

I'm not posting this as a political jibe - just trying to provide those of us it might affect some further info. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1185443850329960448.html

I had my 1980's L2000 on here and other various places for months - eventually traded it for a USA P bass so not a bad deal but yeah, not massive amounts of interest. Think they are very well thought of but just don't seem to be easy to shift. I think people think the pickups are a bit brash but as you said, the tone controls can easily reign them in. Best of luck with your sale!

Recently traded my G&L for this lovely 2014 American Standard P Bass - I've been playing bass for about 15 years and have always had a stable of at least 3 basses and yet this is my first proper P Bass! Even in bass shops I've never really tried one as I always thought they were boring and were always going to be available. This is the epitome of "does what it says on the tin" type of bass. Does the wooly old school thump and the proper grind with the tone all the way up. I can definitely see why they are so popular for bands/recording, they just sound right! The neck has just about the right amount of finish on it for me - not a fan of heavy gloss and but this has a light gloss that makes it feel like it's protected but doesn't get sticky. Only thing is the strings - forgot to ask what they were but they are very clanky so could be steels. Might change them for something more refined. I was originally trying to sell my G&L so this may be up for sale in the very near future but I'll enjoy it for a month or so Anyway, pictures!

GAS is a horrible thing.... 😅

Ok....so not quite custom, but custom-ish. Kind of interesting to see another manufacturer go down the configurator route and while the headstock and designs are different and won't be for everyone. Also don't think the price is right either - lots of well respected Jazz/P basses around about €1,000

So average price of TC pedal is ~£100 x 5 I want to be surprised and say it might £300 but that's probably a bit low.

Could it be as simple as 5 options of any toneprint from the database. Could be killer if it is.

This teaser looks interesting.....

Great choice there! As you will see from the Yamaha BB thread on here, a lot of love for both the newer and older models. Happy bassing!

Or this Ibanez Talman?
