Royal P Bass

would you be able tio post a video or soundclip to illustrate what you refer to as 'Royal tone'?
Exactly!
Which specific P-bass are we comparing everything-to?
What amp/speaker combo? all controls set "flat"? And as @mambo4 asked, which recording engineer will
do the comparison? The guitarists in my band click switches, turn knobs continuously searching for an elusive tone they thought they heard on some song somewhere, too.
I thought about getting one of these, too, just because I think they look cool. I play only 5ers now, and that will be the only thing that prevents me from pulling my visa card out and making another acquisition.
I saw on the news today that Pulp Fiction is 30 years old.
I've got a 1960 P bass plus a bunch of older Fenders.
You want to find a neck that feels just right, rosewood board, approx. 8 1/2 lb. instrument, with a Duncan SPB-1 pickup.
Or buy a real one.

Don't forget the piece of foam underneath the strings at the bridge. Very important for the royal tone.
I have not yet played a P bass that I really like, but I want to find one and I want to add one to my collection.
Five long years, he wore this pbass up his @%!. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the pbass. I hid this uncomfortable 9lb tone monster up my @#! for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the pbass to you.

A reading from the Book of Bass:
Here endeth the lesson.

In a land far, far away, where knights gallivanted in search of the most illustrious treasures, there existed a quest of truly epic proportions - the pursuit of the Royal Bass Tone!
King Arthur, renowned for his valiance and a penchant for a good bass line, summoned his most trusted knights to embark on this noble quest. Sir Lancelot, with his sword as sharp as his wit, Sir Galahad, whose purity of heart was matched only by his love for groovy beats, and Sir Bedevere, the brains of the operation (though some would argue his head was slightly addled from too much head-banging).
Their journey led them through treacherous terrains and bizarre encounters, from the mystical swamps of Swampyton, where the locals spoke only in bass frequencies, to the towering peaks of the Amplifier Mountains, where the air crackled with electrifying riffs.
At every turn, they encountered challenges that tested not just their strength, but their musical prowess. In the Cave of Echoes, they battled a ferocious beast whose roars could shatter eardrums, armed only with their trusty instruments and a catchy melody. In the Valley of Silence, they faced the dreaded Sound Vacuum, where every note played was swallowed whole, leaving nothing but the haunting echo of what could have been.
But through it all, they pressed on, fueled by the promise of discovering the fabled Royal Bass Tone. For they knew that whoever possessed such a tone would hold the power to move mountains with a single note, to command the hearts of all who heard it, and perhaps even to bring about peace in the realm (or at least make some really killer jams).
