i'd like to know what sort of sounds one could get out of it. I'm thinking about buying one when i need one

If a regular P-bass was Bruce Banner, the Attitude is the Hulk.



Damn, Lowbass has a good point. When I was running it at GC, I was running thru a 15 (the woofer) and a 12 (the P) and it sounded thunderous. But, I wouldn't want to play it thru two amps cause the woofer is... well... so woofy the P wouldn't be clearly heard I think.

Those are nice basses for certain applications.
If you have the right rig (2 amps and 2 speaker cabinets), they can sound great. That way you can balance the sound between the middle and neck pups. To me, and this is just my opinion, the neck pickup sounds muddy running through a single amp with the middle pickup. The bass was really designed for running through two amps.

Also, depending on your playing style, slapping is difficult because of the neck pup.

I don't care for the scalloped frets at all.

I have one sitting in the garage. Does that answer your question?

No mullet required...
