That is such a nice looking bass

Sheldon calls the finish "Stormy Monday". The B and E strings were amazingly clear. When I forced myself to part with one of my five-strings, the Colaburst SJ5 (avatar pic) stayed in the nest...

I wonder what a Root Beer burst would look like. A little darker? A little sweeter?

The brown notes would be a tad darker, I'm sure...

I am really liking my Super P...

But of course I'm now wondering what a Super P/J would be like. It's a sickness, I know.

 

[spiritbass]

Known as DAS... Couple of classy P's there! I'm not much into green, but I do like that shade.

The PJ is great and the extra pickup adds a lot of variety, but if it’s vatiety you want then look to the Super J with a P pickup as you can add a preamp etc.
Gratuitous picture for fun...

Is a PJ configuration of the SuperJ even an option anymore? All the photos on the website are showing either the 2x or 3x rounded shell pickups. And, has the bridge pickup moved to the '60s Jazz position? Do the newer versions have a P-Tone version pickup available in the rounded shells?

Mine is like Waltsdog's with the SuperFatty bridge pickup in '70s position. With the SJ5 (PJ) having the neck pickup about 1/4" closer the neck (than my SP5 (PJ)) and the SP having the bridge pickup in the '60s position - I prefer the sound of the older SJ5. The overall tone is beefier and even across the range. It is more noticeable on the D and G-strings as well; the SJ5 sounds fatter.

Thanks to the miracles of the P-Tone, a PJ is not sonically necessary. The SJ with a neck P-Tone solo'd fulfills the promise of the pickup's moniker quite remarkably.

I don't love inanimate objects, but I've always dug this one deeply! I don't recall what the top wood is...?

There should be a Dingwall Anonymous. Only problem: nobody would attend the meetings.

No we would just have a bass jam and everyone would no who everyone is so there would be no anonymity

Thanks. It really catches your attention. It is Maple Burl.

No offence, but I have always preferred the P bass, but that's just me. Since I've started playing through a Line 6 Helix tonal variety has never been an issue.

That's what I thought. I guess it also splits the difference between the standard P pickup configuration and the reverse P seeing as it's all in-line (maybe split in the shell, but not as pronounced as the separate P pickup setup).

I really like the maple burl in my Z3.

Does anyone have a photo of the Nebula bass that was sibling to the Bloodmoon?

A Super PJ is the best thing since sliced bread! The FD3 at the bridge adds a lot of versatility... although lately i’ve mostly been using the neck pickup solo.

I’ve tried several configurations of Supers in 4 and 5 strings. Honestly my favorite option is probably a maple fretboard. However I haven’t had the opportunity to play a wenge/wenge neck drool

 

[AB Nate]

How about wenge/ Zirocote ?

Split? They don't call it a P-Tone for nothin'!!
