The 75th Anniversary alder/rosewood Daphne Blue with mint green pickguard is to die for. Don't you think so?

This is my always-on pedal. Every bass sounds incredible through this compressor—rich, full, and punchy. It adds so much warmth and thickness to the tone that I simply can't imagine playing without it:

An extraordinary composer and, judging by the sensitivity reflected in his work, I suspect an equally extraordinary person. A truly heartbreaking loss. 😢

Congratulations to everyone who picked one up! I’ve joined the club too, although I gave mine a more vintage look with a different "outfit" and added a pickup cover to give it a more classic, traditional appearance:

Hi! Would you please put again the link? Truly interested. Cheers

After tons of changes, this is my (finally) finished pedalboard. I don’t feel like changing anything anymore, and I’m not missing any kind of effect. Let’s see if you like it: 0. Harley Benton Spaceship Power 60XL 1. Walrus Canvas Tuner 2. ThorpyFX Fat General Parallel Compressor 3. MXR...

Sting is an absolute genius, one of the key figures of the last third of the 20th century. You’ve already mentioned dozens of his huge songs, so here are a couple that might not be in his top tier but that I personally love:

Same here, every day ;-(

I’ve owned dozens of compressors. I sold them all and only kept this one: https://thorpyfx.com/products/the-fat-general-parallel-compressor-copy Punchy and warmth in both modes (parallel and juicy). I love it, it’s my always-on pedal.

All 2nd Gen V & P series are Alnico except the V3 :)

Seen on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/94673762-marcus-miller-sire-p7-4-fretless-swamp-ash-2nd-gen-4-string-fretless-electric-bass I find it unbelievable that something like this comes off an assembly line it reminds me of the Mazinger Z TV series I used to watch as a kid :roflmao:

I also have this Dakota Red (P5 body, but with a P5R neck and pickup): The P5R and P7 are my favorite basses in Sire’s entire catalog.

That's great mate. Don't forget to play "Barbarism Begins at Home" with your new toy :D

I think the P5R is the best choice in your case. No need to upgrade the pickup, the new Fat Precision Revolution is excellent. Here’s how mine looks with cream pickup covers: (61mm width at the 12th fret)

Sorry mate, I missed your message. Yes, the frets are smaller, like on the regular V7 Vintage.
