Pretty much all of the above reco’s for an alternative to a Fender P are just plain awesomeness.
But, it was @howard who would ultimately suggest the winner for me…
Edwards E-Groover PB in Surf Green
Just different enough that I fell in love with the way it looked.
Hardware and electronics are really strong.
Gotoh tuners, Seymour Duncan SPB-1 Vintage P pickup, 38mm jazz neck, actual bone nut, ash body, maple neck w/white binding and white MOP block inlays and just the most vintagey shade of surf green on the planet.
Fit and finish are all great.
Non-gloss neck.
Happy to own such an odd-ball in the US of A.
Ikebe music is really easy (too easy) and good to work with.
Sent a ton of pics of actual bass before shipping.
This thing shipped Monday from Japan and arrived today (Tuesday) at my house in perfect condition.
