Agreed. I tried to funk out on a reissue, and the feel was totally wrong,
mostly because of the bridge. The tone was OK, but not better than a P or a
J.
Those basses are really just one trick ponies, IMO.
Yo. I owned one of those early "repros before repro was cool". The
"trick" is a good one. The feel of the somewhat massive neck, slab
body, and the shared bridge saddles (that can be fixed) add to the
effect. Fender funk.
But even for Country (bar band style), a little confining in the tone
dept.
The tiny single pole pieces in the pup are small enough that any
string bending, or indeed lack of proper string alignment IRT setup,
sees volume fall off.
Did I say, I sold the one I wish I still had <g>?
IMHO, a great candidate for a Duncan QP pup replacement experiment,
which might not hurt that funky sound too much but could add a little
more "voice" if you will. The one I had got the pup rewound (while
owned by a friend; we traded that bass back and forth a few times) for
more output. Louder, brighter, still funky. --D-y
