Unusual as it's normally a J pickup in the bridge position. In 30 years time, when this comes back onto Ebay, the BCers of the future will be whinging about someone vandalising a Noughties P with an extra pickup.

neepheid Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'd be more concerned about "The neck has been slimmed to aid playability." than any pickup augmentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Isn't it something the slap players do/did? I seem to remember that Russell Jackson who used to play with B.B. King in the late 70's early 80's had a J pickup there for his slapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1422757014' post='2676558'] I'd be more concerned about "The neck has been slimmed to aid playability." than any pickup augmentation. [/quote] It's possible he meant to say "shimmed", and autocorrect has messed it up, but I'd want to check before bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subbeh Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Possibly, I've seen a couple of basses on the BC classifieds that have actually had the necks slimmed/shaved down a bit to suit the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I had the neck on my '00 Thumb shaved down to the same proportions as my '87 JD Thumb. Local luthier did it, and made a jolly good job of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
