PJ-75 VW Vintage Series : My new favorite

OK, so this isn't actually my favorite bass that I own, but nothing can replace my 73 fretless P Bass. But that's not the bass I want to play on most of our songs. The PJ-75 is. I primarily play it as a full P, and the sound just works for me. And then there are the times when I want to mix in the J or go for some other variation - you know, all those various sound options one wants from a passive PJ - they're all available. This isn't exactly a light bass. After our last 3 hour gig I woke up the next morning remembering that I'm a middle aged man who had a large chunk of lumber on my shoulder for a few hours. But that's hard to overcome if you to play a 5 string like this. I have noticed that after playing for a few hours the outside of my left pointer finger is calloused. I looked carefully, and I think the frets are a hair wider than the fretboard which a good tech should be able to fix with a little extra rounding and/or polishing. Considering the price, I can afford that little bit of work. One thing to know - like most passive JBs, if you turn the neck pickup to full and then turn the bridge pickup to full the overall output on mine decreases. One day I may add a series / parallel switch to give me some additional options there, but even if I never get around to it, I'm thrilled with this bass.
