I've had my player P for about two years and it's a very good bass. Was intending on changing pickups but the alnico 5s it came with sound great. I did some cosmetic changes but that just me. I also had it pleked and it became an even nicer bass. Enjoy!

Great!!

A great bass - I have the same Player in black and maple and the maple board is the most beautiful one I have ever seen ...

I plan on putting a Pure Vintage '63 pickup in it. Not that it really needs it.

One of those came stock with my 2013 Am Vintage Hot Rod P/J, BIG sounding pickups.

I love the BIG sound on mine .

 

[Killing Floor]

Good call.

Lovely one. The basics stills the best, this is my lemma. I just didn't purchased a Player Jazz because the price here in Brazil was prohibitive. But i never had any single problem with MiM Fenders. I had a '98 Strato and a 2010 Jazz.

I was lucky to get mine before the major price increase(s) here in the US. I upgraded the pups to PV 63s and replaced the neck with a Jazz. It is now a true "Player" for me, especially with LB flats .

I agree. The stock P pickups sound really good. I I went through a couple different pickups in mine and ended up going back to the stock because it just sounded better than the others.

I have almost no problems dialing in my HXS when I use my stock Player but always tweaking stuff for my PV63 pickup bass. Hmmm.

Different strokes??? . Of course, I love the vintage tone of PV63 pups.

I much prefer the modern tone of the stock so I may switch back to them.

Whatever moves you.... PV63s are for those who love the old school vibe.

For sure. There is no right or wrong here. It's all about dank ass tone and everyone has a different taste.

Fender Precision straight into a vintage Hiwatt...Glorious!
Nice playing also.

Also, not sure a job at a cool guitar shop like that qualifies as "work". Keep on rocking!

Congrats! I played a bunch of basses at my local guitar shop today and absolutely fell in love with a Tidepool Player P. Gorgeous, felt and sounded great. I’ll get one someday. Enjoy!

My Sabbath/ Ozzy tribute is doing N. I.B. I plan on doing a little bass solo in the beginning paying homage to Geezer and at the same time channeling Billy Sheehan and Ariel Bender. I wasn't going to publish this but what the heck, warts and all.

Sounds great. What are your amp & settings?

Amp is Fender 800 Stage on the dirty Orange setting #35. Using WARM Jet Phaser effect pedal.

The PV 63 pickup arrived, hope to get it installed in the next few days.
