Not a Fender but still the P style pick up:

This is what I got right now...
I forgot one more, don't mind the pesky old Jazz bass.....

What’s that brown one with the bart? Lovely bass, well they all are but that one caught my eye
My P assembled by myself from Fender parts, Geezer pickups and pots and a home carved body. It’s heavy ash and it’s a player.
Excuse the lousy photo. My just-acquired project:
Home carved body?? My friend, that looks fantastic!
MIA hi-mass bridge on a Player body? How did that work out for you? I'm curious as to how you managed to screw those in with the alignments being wonky unless you did some extra woodwork...
Thank you. I found a nice plan for the body on the ‘net’ and imo it worked out very well.
Sure, I’ll play along. Late Eighties MIJ, with a Bartolini pickup, Gotoh bridge, and La Bella DTFs.
The red bass is a 1980s custom ESP, the maple neck with black pickguard is a '75 Fender P.
1. 2018 Player P maple neck w 2020 Player polar white body. CS62 pickup (soon to swap out for PV63), TI flatwounds.
2. 2020 Player P maple neck with 2018 Player black body. Stock pickup. Vintage threaded bridge. Rotosound RB45 rounds.

I need to drink more water because I’m currently P-less. Here’s the P-Basses I’ve owned:
2001 Squier Standard Precision V. Had a huge neck and some very weak Jazz pickups. I don’t miss this one. I miss Jackie the cat, though
2002 Squier 20th Anniversary Edition Affinity Precision. This will forever be the one that got away. Light, perfect neck, huge tone. I bought it for $100 and donated it to a music school for disadvantaged children after owning it for two years. I know it has helped kids get their start in music but I sure miss it.
Ibanez Roadstar II RB630 (circa 1986). This one had a wonderful neck and was nice and light. I put an EMG Geezer Butler pickup in it. It sounded and felt incredible, but I wanted to get a 5-string again, so I sold it towards a SBMM Ray5.

Part 2.
2007 (or so?) Squier Affinity P-Bass (photo from the Internet). This was my first bass. I owned it for a short while before trading it towards an Ibanez GSR200.
Squier Classic Vibe Limited Edition Precision. I just played this one at Guitar Center the other day. Felt great. It rekindled my love of P-Basses. I might buy one someday.
SX Ursa LPB62 Fretless (photo from the Internet). This was my first fretless bass. It was pretty terrible, but it never had a good setup. The pickup was annoyingly microphonic if touched. I don’t miss it.

Ah yes, thank you, that is a Warmoth 32" scale. Roasted swamp ash and ebony board. I've got it tuned to D standard for the blues trio.
