andybassdoyle Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) So now, after many years of wondering, I totally relate to Britney Spears 'Whoops I did it again' Only in my case I didn't play with anyone's heart or get lost in the game, I bought another P bass with the idea of having a rounds and flats P bass then came to the realisation that I like my Ps with flats and my Js with rounds Admittedly there's no natural cadence to that sentence and I'm not even sure Tim Rice could cram it into a tune. Still, the facts are the facts Bought recently from Scooby, here is the original listing: I have made some changes to the bass as follows: Bridge replaced with a Badass 2 SB2 replaced with a Fralin (not overwound) Brown tort plate Smaller concentric knobs for the vol/tone stack If you would prefer the original bridge, knobs and plate I can put them back for you. You're stuck with the Fralin though unless you want to swap that out for a no-name spare P bass pick up I have in my parts drawer.... Btw white pickup covers are an option if you are an exotic person like that The bass itself is a great P bass, does everything a P bass should. It's seen use but is in great condition functionally and aesthetically. I've tried to capture the few marks in the pictures but will list them here for transparency: Neck has previously been fitted to at least one other body - drill holes just visible Small chip out of the headstock on the A tuner post Screw holes from original larger tuners Couple of dinks on the body Small gap and screw hole on the tort plate - the orignal red is a slightly better fit Sounds great. Lots of P variation from the combo of the vol/tone and the tonestyler. The neck however is beautiful - if I'm honest it's what attracted me in the first place, it has a great feel and is gorgeous to look at. Somewhere in between a J and P in terms of dimensions, plays great all the way through. Hope this is helpful info, here's some pics of the bass now: Really does need to be sale only, please do not offer me any more P basses!!!

Quatschmacher Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Maybe it’s rounds on maple you don’t like. Have you tried flats on this one? Flats on maple can sound wonderful: I’m really enjoying having Precisions with both rounds and flats and now have zero Jazzes.
