Dimension series did a PJ 5er

Pee wee

Fancy pants - pretty sure I saw you with bubble wrap and a bag for life....

What you say is never in doubt, but within that ‘Fender Tone’ there are various iterations, so depending on which you want, your Yammy or any other bass will be closer or further away, and as someone else has mentioned, the latest Yammy models have regular pick up sizes, so changing pick ups and sound etc has never been easier

What ‘classic’ or ‘traditional’ P bass sound are we talking ’52, ‘58, ‘65, ‘70s We are talking 50-80 years ago in range where lots was happening

What’s the goal here? Good price for a bass you have always wanted and intend to keep? Good price for a bass you want to try and then maybe flip? The lure of a ‘bargain’? that year’s feature set may be preferable to the 2019 model. You may get it cheaper, not as cheap as ex-display, the minute you touch it and take it home whatever the cost, you take a hit, unless it’s truly second hand and it’s reached it’s shelf, which most things do. I think basses do age with time and playing and mature, there is no doubt and can sound better, especially if quality woods to start with. Of course you could buy it, play it, return it in the return time frame, get a refund, go back and buy as returned stock for less, play it some more and then sell it still for a loss down the line second hand.

Here here on the Mag, esp @Osiris playing through it, it must be good if it even made me seem half passable for a bassist

Alto TS range is pretty decent as is their mixer Behringer X-Air is also a very decent mixer - Midas pre amps in it now so good for vocals etc.

We’re the knobs plastic or metal? Judicious rout of the hole with your new tool?!

Hi mate, glad you got them to work, and congrats - tinkering and it working is very satisfying! The only issue with ruining the paint is that if it’s shielding paint, that ca affect your basses shielding, however small bits should not be an issue. So far as knobs go - I am a set it and leave man, I quite like the look without!

There is that, but I was sticking to the Jaguar vibe on the thread!

Get the MIJ with 2 jazz pick ups

Or 0000 wire wool

The tone stack is great, flat being 2-10-2 and if you have other stuff before it then it will amplify what you give it. Defo those cones give a sound of their own which is not displeasing at all, but yeah, weight can be an issue especially with some of the stuff that is out there now

Dad joke alert........... Never missed a Hartke-Beat

LH amps are fantastic, simple, good tone, bombproof. Hydrive HX are ‘interesting’ cabs with paper and aluminium cones - quite cool to get them to fart and get interesting sounds out! Amp a big thumbs up and yes, cabs, not bad, but better ones out there when I side by sided them

🤦🏾‍♂️ Dadjokesrus Wasn't that Bill Smith or Morgan Freeman? Hollywood only use 1 or 2 black actors as well as trying to get away without paying female actors appropriate rates. Black Panther really screwed that up for them!

Clang Machine is a great name

Not when I play it - i’ll Get someone good to demo - May even sound better than a fake Ray

You may be right, whoever is thinking of doing that could just be a mad scientist genius

Headstock looks like someone who has a gluten allergy just went to the bakery

Exactly, which bell piece would ever consider doing that, only some absolute muppet. Its a bit like someone having a fetish for brown basses

Not really - no less controversial than saying turdburst and tort look amazing or lashings of gold hardware on a bass make it look luxurious.

Pointy headstock was better
