I told Jon I wanted something that sounded like my 78 P bass but played like my stingray.

Well so far it sounds as good if not better than The P Bass, Its got the extra Jazz PU to give me a bit more flexility and it plays fantastic! Way better than the stingray. It even slaps better (not that I undulge in much slapping - just Areoplane in guitar shops :huh: )

I've only tried it on my practice amp at the moment. Can't wait to unleash it on the Ashown rig in the week :wacko:

Compared to the P Bass, its as light as a feather too.[/quote]

Nice result :)

At the moment I've only tried it though a 60Watt fender practice amp so it's difficlut to say.

Jon's got my P-Bass at the moment so I can't make a direct comparison. I would say they are very similar, maybe a bit more punch.

I've got a practice on thursday with my full rig, so I'll let you know then. :)

Si[/quote]

Mine's a custom made overwound passive one, same spec as the JJ Burnel P bass he makes.
Mine has a loud fat sound .. Very diferent to my Fender MIA bass that I had before.
It's a fatter sound with more overtones and harmonics.
So IMHO, much better... but then I woudl say that :)

Glad you got back OK and hear that you are enjoying the bass, it was good to meet you at Jon's on Saturday

Fantastic!

Tried it though my Ashdown rig last night and it sounds nothing short of amazing :huh:

I'd agree with OldGit, The Precision Pups give a really fat sound. When I play finger style it sounds like the best P Bass you've ever heard. When I play with a pick it justs ROCKS! Not suprisingly, it sounds just like JJ Burnel's sound on the last stranglers album.

What I didn't expect, is that with a bit of the Jazz Pup dialed in (that's overwound to the same spec as the P Pup) it has the fattest slap tone I've ever heard. Its just a shame I'm crap at slapping :) Although I have the feeling I'm going to improve now :huh:
