Most of them seem to have been made back in the 80s, for whatever reason. |

| | | | I really like double reverse P setups... it sounds like most of the people who do not like them dislike the way they look, which is subjective, but I think they look sort of neat, and sound fantastic! |

I thought it would be fun to "build" a bass with, but it sounded so good, all I did to it was put on new strings and did a set up. It looks like death eating crackers, but I love the way it sounds.

If I ever get to the point of playing live on-stage, I may have to nab one.

There two volume controls for that double P pickup - one for the EA strings and one for the DG.
