Yes I know that sounds ridiculous but hope you get the drift. :)[/quote]
It's just a sound I hear a lot, and when deciding what would sit well in a track I sometimes think 'hmmm a P would fill this one's ass very well' :)

Hhhmmmm. My prognosis is, you may simply have GAS :)

surely you need two, one with flats and one with rounds ;-)

Other thing is, because they are such simple instruments as long as the feel is right and decent woods are used changing the pickups can make a massive difference.

I know a couple of guys who favour that (retro?) sound.[/quote]
Steve, I've always just found that Fender... or summat else will do.
The minute I get past the "how is that" bit of the conversation they are happy, because both basses sound great.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1278800' date='Jun 22 2011, 05:54 PM']Jake, will your forthcoming P have flats on it?[/quote]


Damn, I've just come hear to ask that question and you beat me to it. Now, I'm going to have to think of a new question. It took me long enough to think of the last one :):):)

Fullertons were early '80s MIA.

Jake, get a fretless Precision. Does everything a fretted can and a whole lot more
