Favorite P-bass

'66 P sunburst, flats
'75 P mocha, rounds
'19 USA P black, rounds
'99 USA P, black w/ maple, rounds

I don't have a favorite, I love them all for different roles they play. Which one would I hold on to if I was forced to keep one? Probably the '66.

Hi Justin, I was curious if all of your precisions still sport original pickups and hardware? Curious if you have any preferred aftermarket pickups, or if you tend to stick with stock pickups in general?
 
Which one of those would be your fav for distorted tones a la NIN? I love the tone on my 74' P Bass, but for modern distortion tones i find the stock pickups are a little bit hard on the upper mids. After seeing you and Ken Andrews using Quarter Pounds on American standard P Bass i think i'll give them a try. What do you think?

Yeah that's the tone actually...forgot I have another P bass laying around from NIN days with a quarter pounder in it, but I'm not sure where it is. May have loaned it to someone.
