Not quite a P bass...

[InhumanResource]

So, what do you call this thing?

That’s the new Sterling by Rayball Stinkray4 classic!

What I'd call it is "mod platform"...

Yeah but, it's only half "modded"...

If the LEDs worked, which I doubt, it would be cool for someone learning the fretboard regardless of sound. It's not a gigging instrument.

I have a couple of the Fretlight acoustics - the LEDs actually work just fine, it's pretty cool. I like the ability to "light up a map" on the keyboard in the current key when working on my soloing. Also very useful for rank beginners of course, but not limited to that.

This bass, though. Just Ugh.

Jaco would play it.

Everyone else hates it, but I kinda dig it. I hardly use a tone pot anyways, and one pickup is my style. Not really a fan of the pg, but that could be changed.

The pick guard gots me jonesin' for a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup.

If it were an electric guitar it would be an Esquire

Works for me, that’s how I use a Jazz bass anyway.

[MisterUbu]

the recision bass?

 

[Killing Floor]

Sunburst.

Interesting. It's the only permutation of the Precision/Jazz that I haven't seen before.

I guess it either works or not depending on the sound you can get out of it.

 

[Killing Floor]

If it was a 5 I’d say “if was a 4 I’d be all over it”.

It would take some creative EQing to make this bass work with anything other than solo stuff. On the amp or preamp pedal, I would crank the bass and dim the mids and highs. This might give you a workable tone to support and blend in the mix.

A Comedy Club Bass. This thread is hilarious !!

 

[BarfanyShart]

If it had a blendable piezo bridge and good preamp, put me down for a "Maybe."
