...but it's devoid of "P-ness" IMHO. 
But seriously: the beauty of the standard P-bass is that the top strings "sing" more, and you get more thump down low. |

It's the P-bass split-coil humbucking pickup versus the MM double-coil humbucker. The P coils are wired in series for thicker tone, the MM coils wired in parallel for more top and bottom.
Some Rays (fivers, anyway) can be toggled from parallel to series, but they still don't clone the P tone. |

The double Ps on this thing are just so aggressive and huge. I wish more people rally knew about the blacktop series, it seems they have gone under the radar for the past two years. Probably one of the most versatile sounds you will ever get, plus, the White Chrome Pearl color is AMAZING!!! |

| | | | Basses with P pups for bridge and neck are best kind for P pup basses imo. BC Rich has many this way.
