    Share your reverse P bass!

    Ahhh I don’t have any clips on hand, but let me see what I can put together in the next couple of days. And yes, I designed this to have more low end without the tinny sounding pick up right up against the bridge. The “treble“ side of the “bridge“ pickup is still in the standard P-Bass location...

    Long scale is fine

    No, regular scale fits through body basses. And my string recommendation would be Ernie ball, cobalt, either round wound or flat, both are great. And I’ve used most of the others mentioned.

    I’d go with JBE (Barden) blade pickups P and J. Similar tone to the BB1024 models.

    Try to find a BB 2024MA. The body is smaller and much lighter than my BB1024.

    OK, why is it when people say they’re posting videos, I can never get them to run… On my phone it acts like it’s just a picture, not a video

    Well he could easily damage them. I just slowly used a box cutter.

    Yes, the pick ups on the BB300 are standard split coil P bass size… It is the Covers that are a different shape. Swap out the covers and you are good to go.

    Would you be in your Band's Music Video if you didn't play on the song?

    Lol Do the video, no one cares, and it’s done all the time. Hell, Rudy Sarzo became world famous in the 80s and didn’t play on the biggest albums he was famous for! (Pictured on the covers, plays in the videos, didn’t play on the albums)

    I just stumbled across this thread, but yes, the reverse P configuration sounds better.

    I felt the same way, the active EQ did not make it sound better, and it wasn’t that great in passive mode either. My 504 has been in a case for a few years, as I’ve been meaning to sell it. And that’s also why I never bought a 734, I’ve heard it’s the same EQ.

    Not sure if I posted this already, but it’s always worth a second look
