It does indeed. Yet another reason it followed me home 👍

I've yet to hear a bad sound out of it.19mm bridge string spacing too to top it off.

This was on my list but somehow I tried this in Bass Direct over the weekend and it followed me home. I'm really not a fan of white pickguards but this bass was all sorts of shades of amazing in both feel and sound palette. I even liked the price. I had to do it. There are options to configure a darker colour on the Public Peace website but not sure I can be bothered 🙂 Shout out to Adam their newest staff member. Really cool guy.

I'm considering one of these but play 5s exclusively. Do you have a 5 string at all that you've plugged into it?

Yes too narrow for me. I CAN play them but my comfort is compromised. So the Marusczcyk I got yesterday from Bass Direct not only sounds like a P (hence the share)with neck pickup soloed AND a Ray (to me at least) with bridge pickup soloed it has 19mm bridge string spacing-in fact a fraction wider as the B to G string measurement is about 78mm. Doesn't your Ray feel the same with the new nut down at the bridge end?

Just got this used today from Bass Direct and it's put a massive smile on my face. Not a Fender or Sire (which to me is a plus)

Is the tea grown in India and the shirt made from Indian produced cotton?

Bass Direct have two used 5 string Maruszczyk basses @£950 each currently. Guess which two colours each pickguard is? 🤣

Late 1800s apparently.

I think you nailed it with this idea. It's just to see one on the used market for sale.

Wasn't my suggestion quoted here thinking out of the box? Since you suggest Sire why the V7 when they offer P bass alternatives?

These are Jazz bass alternatives rather than P bass ones?

The P7 has the P pickup if Sire is an option. They will still feel wider than the Warwick however.

Despite this truth us bass players still have our playing preferences. The audience indeed couldn't care less either way. Maybe the OP can try your suggestion with his Warwick as it has a MM style humbucking bridge pickup.

Doesn't sound like a P though?

I've had one,fine bass. If you're after a 5 string P bass with the same spacing (16.5mm) that might not happen unless you commission a build. My previous suggestion is all I have at the moment.

What model of Warwick do you own and does it have a preamp bypass option? I'm thinking you could try using it neck only and bypassing the preamp.That might get you close enough?

I mentioned this on my list posted a while back. I have a Fender Jazz that came with one and I bought it KNOWING the stock white pickguard wasn't going to last long on it. I just can't stand them 🤭

I now find 4 strings weird.I skip over them in the classified ads for sale like you wouldn't believe. In fact I wish could filter them out of the search listings 😄

Once I realised that a 120 B string has no less fundamental than a 130 I now exclusively use 40-120 string sets. This is only in my experience I should add.

Basses. I listed them a few posts back.

The highest number I ever got to was a pitiful 5 😄 Warwick Broadneck Streamer Stage One 5 Warwick Broadneck Thumb 5 Fender Player Plus Jazz V modded with onboard Sadowsky pre.

And there's my wife asking why I need 3 😁 Do you have any duplicates or are they all completely different from each other?

He stated in his original post that he has no interest in playing 4 string basses any more?
