P Bass with Round Body?

[Gare Boo]

Hello
Are there any P basses that have rounder bodies like the Yamaha BB VI? The Sandberg California VS is not as round but looks good too. I somehow find the precision pickup looks good with rounder body lol.

Please let me know, thanks!

EBMM Cutlass perhaps?

MusicMan basses are pretty round on the bottom. Cutlass is their P. But Rays and Sabres are also round.

The G&L LB-100 is a bit rounder than a P Bass

They're lovely basses. Some would argue better than the Fender.

I used to have the Washburn 'wing series' version of that (circa 1980).. I think it was called a Vulture (??) - or something ornithological...

No I remember now, it was a "Scavenger" ( a nice white one)

I put an EMG-P in mine, then sold it to a lady in a country band, after I got my Rickenbacker 3000...

yeah, that does look nice, I'd bet it's built a bit better than mine, and likely costlier than this no-respect Lotus. the 750 can do it's own Ric thing as well, not my cup of tea but I was surprised at it's versatility towards that sound. whatever the make of PU it's damn good, just kill the hum and it'd be perfect ...except to try some flats.

The current crop of Yamaha BB basses are as round as ever. Granted, they are PJs, but still.

Same factory as the Washburn above? A couple of Vantage basses also from the early '80s.

That white vintage looks better.

Not P pick up, but definitely a more round shape.

Also Spector is a more round shape, with P/J
