"Different" P basses?
- Thread starter michele

Great responses, guys! However the thread was intended to discuss how those things typical of many quality handcrafted instruments (think at Nordstrands, CB basses, Stambaughs etc. etc.) such as single-cut design, neck-through or set-neck construction, a particular combination of woods could affect the typical vibe of a P bass.
No one has a ... mhhh ...Nordstrand single-cut P or a Koa bodied neck-through Stammie P to comment? Damn, don't tell me that now that my CB is on its way to be completed I have to place another custom order to satisfy my curiosity ...

Well guys, her is mine. Hope you like... I certainly do. It's a Sandberg Custom, I was the first one to order a matching Headstock (in wood that is) from them, which was a bit tricky for them to do but came out excellent. I also had the neck pup's position switched to get more of that wood-warmth out of the higher strings. The sound now is a very good P with that extra zing of a modern bass.
Enjoy, Jens
P.S. The picture shows the "first" version with a too dark headstock and 2-band eq. Their mistake, boss was on holiday. After redoing her to my wishes she now is the beaut' I wanted.
