I'm about to solve the mystery of Double P/Reverse P or a combination thereof.
(At least for myself)

I had a friend put a router in one of my six Vantages.
Now I can place them in all three variations and see for myself if I hear a difference and if so, which I like the best.
When i've decided, my plan is to fill in the empty spaces and wrap the bass in printed vinyl to cover up the mess.

Based on my experience with a dual-P bass that I built, I would go with dual reverse. in the standard split-P arrangement, the DG coil of the bridge pickup gets pretty thin. I'm also super curious about the standard/reverse combo, but never tried it myself.

After some testning at home i think I agree
Between Corona and moving to another city i no longer have a band to try it "for real"
