chris_b Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 There's a reason P basses as so common. . . . it's because of their unique sound. Non P basses can get close but never close enough, IMO. That's why most companies make at least 1 P bass. As long as you have the split pickup in the correct position I guess you'll get the P bass sound from any bass. I'd strongly suggest that you try flatwound strings on whatever bass you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I currently have my Vintage musicman strung with flat wounds and love the sound it gives. Think I will be dropping my money on a 424 and some flat wounds rather soon. Then I can string my musicman up with some rotosound swing bass and have the best of both worlds, punchy MM and flat would P bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 G&L SB1 or SB2. SB1 is like a P on steroids (with a body that has been slimmed down). Cheap alternative s/h Peavey milestone, fit P pickup of choice - Wizard, seymour-Duncan, EMG, Entwistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrag Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1445643287' post='2893144'] Yamaha instruments are very good. The only slight criticism I have is that my old BB1100s sounded a bit "clinical" but to many that`s probably a very good plus point. [/quote] I'd disagree. My bb1100s has a stonking tone and I wouldn't call it clinical. Id massively recommend one if you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbrag Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 If you want a unique p bass I'm selling this: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/270913-peavey-t20-1983-l300/page__pid__2899392#entry2899392 Which are pretty rare over here. You are more than welcome to try it if you are ever in the Bristol area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
