I have a specially made DDJ-4 (Neo Splitcoil J) bridge pickup with a 5% overwind on its way from Hanson. It will go in my Bob Glaub PJ with the Neopunch P. I'll let you know how it sounds!
Took the new 55-64 to a jam Sunday night and was able to go out front and hear it while someone else played it.
Really like what I heard. To me, that 35" scale takes a P bass to a new level. It's almost like hearing a modern classic. It has what I like about P basses and none of what I don't like. It is kinda hard to explain it, but it's almost not what you expect to hear from it by looking at it. The guy playing it didn't really care for it, but he's a Fender endorser and die hard 4 stringer so I guess he's not suppose to like it. (On a side note, he doesn't like any of mine or anyone else basses either, so I don't put a whole lot of merit into his opinion). Any way, really diggin' this bass.

I got lots-0-pics of it ...they had pics on bass club Chicago where I bought it ...I bought it used...
and bass central still had pics of it from when it was originally sold...
purty cool !
Suhweet! 1.5" width J taper neck too! Nice score!
Very nice, almost didn't recognize you with the new avatar
It was time for a change

Hey guys, just had a quick question for you:
I'm gearing up to order a US 44-51 in the next 3 months, and I'm a bit torn between getting the neo punch model or the Vintage single..
I'm very familiar with split pups and not so much with the P singles. I think I would dig the extra clarity of the single, but wonder, do they still retain that unmistakable "thump" that the splits put out?
P.S: an average pic of my amazing fretless 44-01:

Correct, Trevor! Late 2008.
I believe they were the first Indo-made Skylines and the first Plek'd Laklands, but I could be wrong on both counts.
I had a late 2008. Indonesian Joe Osborn model that was plek'd, so you may as well be right on both counts
A question for all you 5 string players here. Lakland 5'ers are 35" scale basses. Hence, do you guys use medium gauge strings (45-105, etc.) or go down a gauge due to the longer scale.
Also, could you please tell me what strings you use?
Thanks!
