As I also mentioned it could be that the magnets are stronger too. To give an example the DiMarzio Model P and the EMG Geezer Butler P, both passive pickups, and while they both have just about the same DC resistance, which would indicate similar amount of coil wounds, the magnetic field of the Model P is much stronger than that of the Geezer, which results in the Model P having a considerably louder, hotter output than the Geezer.

Pure nickel, I would say. Forget that, I misunderstood the question, this is obviously the other way around (no pun intended).

P pickups generally have more wounds on the coils, increasing DC resistance, which increases output, the two halves are also connected in series, which again, among other things, increases the output. The J pickups only got on coil, and usually with fewer wounds on the coil than your typical P pickup. Finally the strings vibrate more nearer the neck, and less towards the bridge, which effects the strength of the "input" signal to the pickups. The signal the J pickup picks up is simply weaker to begin with than the signal the P pickup picks up. Other than that it is possible that the P pickups got stronger magnets installed, increasing the strength of the magnetic field, which again increases output. It's pretty common by the way that the P in a P/J Bass is louder than the J pickup. But they can be balanced, if one uses a weaker P pickup and a stronger J pickup. Often though in a P/J you just use the J pickup for adding extra upper range flavor to the P pickup, and usually won't solo the J pickup.

Oh, it is definitely an EHX POG in some form, yes looks like the Mirco, if OP should want to nail the exact tone. But just about any decent polyphonic octave up pedal should do.

Well, the octave up would be blended with parallel clean signal, my best guess in about equal measures, just using the regular dry/clean signal blend on your octave pedal. And there is a keyboard playing too, which might confuse you.

Digital polyphonic octave up, blended with parallel clean signal, maybe a hint of reverb or very subtle delay, I think that is basically it. Mind there is a keyboard playing too, which might confuse you.

I decided to stick to the format/concept of single track bass improvisation, with only edits done to it in a simple Wav editor, so here I bring you: The astonishing psychedelic Faux Electro Dog Simulation™ : Take 1 of a free improvisation with some minor post production edits in a simple Wav editor. Played on my 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, that I named "Mr. Growly - The Noodlemancer", tuned in G# standard tuning (as in one half step bellow the 4 upper strings of a 6 string bas in regular B standard tuning, plus a high E string), through my "amp-less" setup, directly into a hand held Zoom H4n recorder.

Here you go: Based on an old concert photo : Based on a more recent selfie: I can't say any of them are particular accurate to my actual looks.

I might have to initiate my Boss RC-500 Loop Station for the next contest, and perhaps even utilize the Zoom recorders ability to record 4 mono tracks/2 stereo tracks. It's not a promise, but something I will consider. It might still end up with just a single track improv like the other tracks I've contributed with.

I just released this on Bandcamp a couple of days ago, here's the album description: Piece #911 3 freely improvised tracks First 2 tracks are single track recordings, played on my 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, that I named "Mr. Growly - The Noodlemancer", tuned in G# standard tuning (as in one half step bellow the 4 upper strings of a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning, plus a high E string), through my "amp-less" setup, directly into a handheld Zoom H4n recorder, and only edited with a simple Wav editor. - "A Dorian Ody-C#" : Here I take you on a timeless, time dissolving, musical folk drone journey slowly flowing down a fluctuating colorful stream of consciousness. Take 2 of a free improvisation. (full length, uncut, version of the track I entered the BassChat Composition Challenge April 2025 with) - "Lament For Burning Bridges" : Improvised 1st take. (minimalistic black gaze?) - "Hail Satan" : Primarily played on my Santana 3/4 classical acoustic nylon string guitar, on which I scratched out the first "n" and the last "a" of the logo, so it is now named "Satan". Freely improvised 1st take on top of a programmed drum track. (black noise core/metal?) - Can be listened to an downloaded for free here: https://fjernsind.bandcamp.com/album/piece-911

The Dorks (well here I both swapped a letter and made it swap position, not sure if that counts?)

Is to be found in an uncut version, along with the tracks "Lament For Burning Bridges" and "Hail Satan", here, where it can be listened to and downloaded for free: ▶︎ Piece #911 | Fjernsind https://fjernsind.bandcamp.com/album/piece-911
