Cheers, yeah it’ll do the P-bass sound that I was after well enough, but with some extra options, hopefully. Not just the J-bass honky bridge sound! Blending the two is quite interesting. It’s also not as bright sounding overall as I was expecting, but maybe I just don’t know what I’m doing…
Have you got the original shipped fender strings on still? They're not particularly bright in my experience. Or maybe you're thinking of a more active / musicman stingray sound? In which case an external preamp like a sansamp bass driver might help that (yeah, throw more money at it lol)
Looks good - probably get the best of both worlds out of that (solo'd P for P sounds or solo'd bridge pickup for honky honky jazz sounds)!
I wouldn't worry about the niceness - if it makes you happy when you play it then it's the right bass for you!
