@mrperkolator heres the demo of those basses mentioned in my other thread.

great sounding basses. I can’t help choosing a favorite lol. I would say it depends on what you’re playing. Of course the 70s p is a great versatile sound. Blue is close and may sit just a hair different in mix. Imho the other two should match, so if you add MM, do it to both. I will say that beefy tone from that humbucker is just awesome. Is it the bass “wide range humbucker?” That’s rarely seen?

Yep, those are Wide Range Humbuckers! The fretless one has been my #1 go-to main playing bass for a decade or so, so I’m not changing anything on that one. The fretted one, I’d like to get a little experimental with, hence entertaining adding a MM to it. Ultimately I don’t want them to be all that similar except in feel and playability.
