We’ll see. Not too worried about it, but might write them for yuks.

Also, apparently, the pickup is a thing:

Checking pictures of other Hybrid II’s online, you can actually see it:
Weird but seems like it’s by design. Nice quirk

interesting.
I would have thought they would raise them on the D&A vs. just the A (Fralin does this on Jazz pickups.
But then makes sense if its a thing.

Also, while this pickup isn’t bad, I wouldn’t say it’s superb either. My SBV’s P pickup is definitely noticeably better. I may be upgrading this pup anyway.

My P bass (from All In One Guitars) had the same, and I guess it has to be like that…
PS: congrats on the bass!!
EDIT: I just read on a thread on TB where they mention exposed poles on P bass pickups, which better bring out a certain clankiness often associated (or sought after) in a P bass - something to do with actually having the string touch the pole (not always, but when you dig in accordingly).

Fender has to keep Fralin and Duncan in business. Where would they be if Fender used awesome puppies?

Purchased this bass the first day I saw it, three months ago! I still don’t have it and has been back ordered till Dec 23rd! WTH! This is a global backorder. Ibanez ran out of wood?

Sandberg has a waiting time between 6-12 months depending on what you are buying.
Hope you get your bass soon! Looks awesome

You know with the dollar at 138 yen like it is right now, it might be cheaper to just buy at Japanese shops and pay for the shipping. My MIJ P came out to $781 US new, including the 10% tax. Wait will be short for the good chains like Ikebe Gakki, Kurosawa Gakki, Ishibashi Gakki and Shimamura Gakki.
