Passive basses with both P and musicman style pickups?

There was just a thread about this two days ago. It’s around here somewhere

 

Reverend Mercalli

 

I've seen a few like that at the Marco Bass Guitars shop, including a pretty cool looking split dual jazz pickup prototype. Since he winds his own pickups he can usually make unusual combinations play nice with each other fairly well.

Disclosure: I have designed and built prototype preamps for Marco, but I have no financial interest beyond that. Especially since you're interested in a passive bass.

You won't find another one quite like this.

Passive, pure and potent.
One of the biggest bass surprises I've come across.
And the fretboard?
Blackwood Tek...another nice surprise.

 

My Retrovibe Super-P was P/MM. Think only around 5 were built in white,another 5 were SB.

Miniswitch changed the MM from series > parallel > single coil.

 

Yep!


may the bass be with you

I have a bass with an MM in the normal position with a P right up next to it making it only slightly closer to the neck than a standard P. Absolutely love it.

Some MM/Ps I've played have the MM moved towards the bridge which makes the MM a bit bright for me.

 

Sandberg do some models with this combo.

I have a custom 6 string with switches for activating and deactivating pickups in various combinations. The PMM setting is one of my favourites. Plenty of grunt and power, that's for sure.

 

Maruszczyk Jake. Or, more affordable, Schecter Diamond P.

 

I don't think p-type and humbucker will sound good together.

 

i added a MM pup to this bass ... sounded cool ... but sold it ... was a parts build ...

did a hack job on hole for MM pup ... but there are pickup rings available ..!!

 

Whats the neck like on these?

 

Someone has to say this sooner or later, so I might as well do it: If you want a P, get a P. If you want a Stingray, get a Stingray.

Now get off my lawn.

Flat radius.
I rolled the fretboard edges on mine.

 

I don't think the p-type and humbucker would be a good sounding bass.

 

This one disagrees... like... a LOT



And this one too:

 

There's and echo in here...
