Yeah... I've moved away from scotch lately too. Really digging Popcorn Sutton's (local deceased famous 'shiner) moonshine, and different Ryes lately.... and merlot and cab sav.
And that 5576 should've been mine!!

Never liked scotch...bourbon...yum. Pinot....super yum!
Not to mention amp. So many of today's high fi amps just don't match the vintage tone. That's why I still like the markbass vle/vle filters for when I Really need to go vintage. I always forget which is which, but on my amp, the one on the left is the p-bass tone, the one on the right, the jazz tone. And I just crank each separately based on the song. Still searching for the right eq combination on my streamliner, and I think I've found it, for the p-bass tone.

This combo works for me to get about any sound I want.
Markbass using the VLE/VPF filters, John East P-Retro and Delano pickups which are quite transparent and let the bass shine through.
The lower knob can either be used as a mid boost with mid tone selection or pull the top knob of the stack to kick in the bass/treble boost and spectrum control on the lower knob.

Still in, though I ain't here much.
Markus Orange. Walkabout. Good stuff.
Hey Alan! A P bass through a Walkabout is close as close to perfection as it gets!
Nice! I have a Mini Cooper S you would love

Actually our new Cooper S Countryman is in production. The sales staff at the dealer named it Darth Mini. The only thing we couldn't black out was the chrome trim around the headlamps, door handles, etc. Nothing a little 3M heat shrink film won't handle
I agree that fretboard material makes little difference. I do think that there is a difference in body wood tone however I don't subscribe to the theory that it always falls the exact same way. But you are more apt to get close to a 64 Precision with an alder/rosewood/vintage wound pickup than you would with an ash/maple/lakland standard pickup combination.
I also agree that the strings can make a big difference.

I totally agree about amp choice too. I've got a Aguilar DB750 that I love. I know it's a bit modern sounding, but it's waaay punchier than my old Markbass setup.
I think I need a breather from bass buying, G.A.S. is the leading killer of bass players under the age of 50. I'm down to one bass now, the Joe Osborn, and the sound is just great through the DB750 and two Aguilar GS112's. That's been perfection lately. The leader of our band has forbid me from changing any elements in my sound, including strings. He thinks I have it down at this point. Maybe I'm just a jazz bass guy at heart, but most of my favorite players play P basses.
Thanks for the advice, guys. I can always count on my Lakland brethren (and sistren, if that's a word).

hmmmmmmmmmm?
Taking note
Don't bother. The forum would be boring visually if everyone only had one bass.
Keep buying and photographing.
Yes...Astro Black. It's black metallic with a little blue in it.

Nice! We might get one of those to replace the X3 in a few years. Yeah...vinyl wrap is very popular for these cars. I have some chrome, but wheels are black and interior all black.
Yeah...strings can make you hate or love a bass.
Big +1. And let me say, my alder/RW Glaub with Sunbeams and a vintage-style Hanson P pickup is the most vintage-sounding P bass tone I've ever gotten from a bass, even moreso than my Fender '57 reissue. I'll have to try flats on it sometime.
