I generally am a fan of pbasses as long as the neck isn't too fat. I've played a 70s fender P that sounded really great and round but the neck was too fat for me. I had forgotten about that, thanks for reminding me!
can always pop a J neck on a P
yeah! I was thinking maybe about going warmoth or something similar, my jazz bass is a warmoth and I LOVE it

Both my basses are precisions put together by Ben Lindsey. Both have skinny modern jazz necks on them and growly arsed pickups. Ben is a good dude and worth checking out if you want to go down the pbass/jazz neck pathway. He's kind of midrange in pricing. More than Mexican Fender, less than crazy shit like Sadowsky and Alleva Coppolo. I got sucked into buying expensive basses like that for a couple of years (Talkbass BS generated hype) and just stumbled across Ben. He built my 57P and the only other bass I've wanted since was the alter-ego 60s beast Ben built me this year. It's allowed me to focus my full attention on pedals

dream amp. Everything I could want in a tube head for a fraction of the price.
Gimmy.
Yeah I'd hit it hard if I had the scratch; but the DSP effects; wherever they were lifted from, do seem a little bit tacked on.
Only 4 set to be made. My guess is that they will be gone before I can earn enough to buy one, plus I'm looking to spend around $7hundo on a guitar amp and that's not including the cab, so this is one that is gonna get away from me.
I still have my SVT and I heart it. Gotta get some better cabs though.
Soooo I ended up buying some George L cables and I'm totally buying into the hype. Not only do they sound better, yes I can actually tell the difference, they were easy as fuck to assemble and I can make them whatever length I want. The only thing that sucks is if I change my board drastically, which I'm not planning on doing for awhile at least. I'm digging my set up for the first time in a long time. The only thing that sucks ass is the price. My God they are expensive as fuck. If I wanted to make my whole board George L, you're talking 200 bucks at least. Unless of course I can snag a deal on Ebay or something.
I'm a whore. I know. But fuck...I like.

That's cool, best of luck with them. Before you go converting your entire board though, I feel I have to chime in. I had a real bad experience with George L. I converted my whole board to George L like 3 or 4 years ago, and within a year, half of them had failed, several of them during gigs. There are very few more helpless feelings than your signal just straight cutting out mid song during a gig. I re-cut and tried again with several of them, and they all failed again. I eventually swore off all solderless cables, and I make my own cables now (mogami cable, GLS pancake plugs) and it's been almost two years and I haven't had a single failure yet. Oh, and it's less than half the price. But it does take a bit of soldering.
Hmm...well so far I haven't had any bad luck with the one George L I've had for around 2 years now. I wonder if something happened to the cables themselves. That sucks.
I've got my fingers crossed. Hah.
