I keep coming back to this one every time I check this thread - love the honest wear and character. Nice looking wood too. This will definitely influence things when I inevitably break down and build a new double p one day.

^^^ I should have been more specific: I’m looking for an ESP PPJ ... that doesn’t cost $4500 ;) I’m interested. But not that interested LOL

I completely understand your sentiment.

Some of those prices were a bit shocking.

A few listed in the vintage 50's and 60's Fender range of $9,000+.

EDIT: That was with the 5% discount as well.

Absolutely does. That's pretty cool. I'm curious to hear how that sounds.

This quickly has become my favorite bass...to the point that I just bought another identical one. This is the same pickup that's in the Fender CS Dusty Hill. With the neck pickup, it sounds like the Dusty. The additional magic happens when also blending in the bridge pickup...can get more focused, even with a grindy edge to it. Love the neck profile too.

The custom designed Seymour Duncan 51 stack pickup in the Dusty Hill tribute bass is a great sounding pickup. If the pickups in this are anything like it, that must sound incredible.

Yes, this is the same SD CS 51 Stack pickup that is in the CS Dusty Hill...x2. Love the tone. And quiet. Lots of versatility with the 2 pickup configuration.

And here:

ESP LOUDNESS 35th Anniversary Project Model Electric Base PPJ (Black) | eBay

The thing is...they retail much cheaper in Japan but there is a group of ebay seller that list them for US delivery with a big markup not even having them in inventory!

The original seller is here :
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

178 000 yens that would be about 1680 USD

The PJP is here :
Invalid Link Removed

388 000 yens so about 3600 USD

Well, 3600 USD for an ESP still a lot though I'm pretty sure the quality is flawless

I am thinking of going the Double P route with this bass. I am weighing the options on whether to add a Reverse P or Std P configuration to the bridge pickup I plan on installing. What say the residents of this parish?View attachment 3385286

Fender Hoppus Sig isn't it? Nice bass!
IF it was up to me, I'd reverse the neck config and do a standard toward the bridge, emulating the double P setup on the Warwick Buzzard, but that's just me.

Nice! If you add another P pickup you’d probably have them in about the same position as my Vantage VP-710B. It sounds great to my ear.
