xgsjx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Getting a P sound? Every P copy I've played sounds different! I'd try re EQing your amp first & then try changing the pickups in the 800 (just the P) & see if that does it. I play an SR1000 & mainly use just the P & can get a great blues tone (I used to play in a blues rock band). Getting a P bass copy might not solve anything.

Paul S Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I personally find it hard to get a P Bass tone out of any Ibanez I have tried. There is a rather smart looking Bitsa PJ for sale on here at the moment with a Mighty Mite Jazz neck that I reckon is a bit of a bargain at £185 delivered [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228104-fs-precision-bass-special-bitsa-blackblackmaple-now-l185/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228104-fs-precision-bass-special-bitsa-blackblackmaple-now-l185/[/url] The neck alone would have cost £100.

Grangur Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 There's a lot of Squier P's going for £100 or less on ebay recently. You could always swap out the pup on that too and a neck on a Squier P is only 43mm wide. I'd be very reluctant to do anything to the Ibby as you like it.

Johngh Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Don't waste money on modding the Ibby, you will more than like still not get the sound you are after. It's sound advice that folk have given you to save your money and go for a Squire Precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'd also suggest to go & try a couple in a shop first to make sure it's what you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donslow Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Does anybody rate the mighty mite parts? Have been looking about and for a reasonable price I can pick up a jazz neck and pbass body but I've never had any experience with them? Are the mighty mite parts all their cracked up to be? How comfortably, if anyone knows, would official fender scratch plates fit on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
