Lots of Super J basses, where are the Super P basses?

[NJE]

Wow this post got brought back from the dead!

It seems since I originally posted there have been a few more company's building 5 string Precisions and with some active EQs and extra pickups, the most recent I have seen are the new Nordstrand P basses. I have also noticed The LowEnd making a kind of 'Super P' as well, but these are £2000 basses plus. I know Sadowsky make one as well but only the NYC basses as far as I can see.

I think the point of my original post was that at the time (and still actually) I would love a reasonably priced 5 string P bass with maybe a Jazz or soapbar (Nordstarnd big single or fatstack) at the bridge and maybe a simple EQ. Squier made a fantastic Jazz V deluxe, why no 'proper' 5 string P (I know Squier made a 5 string P with 2 jazz pickups).

I think the closest thing to a more stock off the peg super P is the Fender Precision Plus mentioned above and they dont make that anymore which is a shame as I remeber it being a very good bass.

Anyway no real point to what I am saying. I just wondered why The Jazz bass look and layout has been so heavily tweaked and modified for 'Super Jazzes' (sometimes to the point where they dont sound much like a good old jazz) but noone has done it much to the P bass until recently? I know there are plenty of companies making superb Precisions, but I still wouldnt mind seeing a 5 string P/J Precision for under £1000 (without modifying). Maybe as has been posted before there is simply no need for it.

Sorry rambled on a bit incoherently, it is friday to be fair.
