I have the same bass, only with its original pick guard, with the Lindy fralin pickups too. It's amazing. I can't fault mine at all. For me the neck makes it, maybe you'd be better off with a Duck Dunn?

Hmmm... could be persuaded......only as I'm mainly using the Fenderbird these days

If you're serious drop me a PM. No pressure though, it's a big decision.

That monster puts mine to shame! How long have you been cultivating?
I know the pickups, they're the bill Lawrence designed ones in the grabber that I used to have. I loved the tone on that. You don't want to sell it do you?

Love the Duck! I have a Bob, quite fancy a duck for a backup, it makes so much more sense with the black scratch plate.

Already got one! Not to their standard yet mind.
Has anyone got an 80s explorer bass? The one with the grabber pickups. Or even a new one? What are they like to live with? I fear the new one is just a pointy T-bird.

Never understood the P/J mix myself, if you want a P bass, buy a P bass, if you want a Jazz, by a Jazz.

What if you want the best of both worlds?
I have to agree, they should have put the double Ps in the p bass and kept the P bass neck profile. It's a great sounding bass, but would have been that much better IMO if they had kept the bodies the right way around.
I played an ex Lemmy bass at a studio once, it was a 4001 shape with Gibson EP-3 pickups in it. Dog of a bass, played like a bow and arrow. I don't think Lemmy looks after his basses too well.
