I get you. It's interesting because I tried a used Yamaha BB1025x last Saturday in The Bass Gallery and switched off the bridge pickup and went P bass mode-warmth and punch for days I thought. Obviously not by you but I feel the Yamaha BB range doesn't get the credit I feel they deserve.

I was looking for a 5 string P bass for a project band a couple of years ago and ended up with a Yamaha BB425x instead. It does the P & PJ bass thing very well and is very playable. And it was ridiculously cheap - around £300 second hand! Thoroughly recommended.
