Members sunburstbasser Posted September 15, 2007 Members Posted September 15, 2007 If you rewire the pickup so that its in parallel rather than series, it'll probably get you a bit closer. This is what the S1 switch does on USA Fender Ps. Beyond that, I don't know of a pickup like that off hand. Most people play Js for either the bridge or some combo of the pickups, so there isn't a lot of demand for Ps that sound like neck Js.

Members Jazz Ad Posted September 15, 2007 Members Posted September 15, 2007 A bridge J barely has lows, which makes it very growly.If you apply a high-pass filter to a P pickup it will sound very much like a J, enough to cover the same duties.You can install a passive hi-pass switch into you bass, or you can use an external device to do it.I use an Ibanez LF-7 that does exactly that.

FWIW: My fretted 5 has a pair of J pickups and I almost always use the neck pickup soloed. but then I am a bit odd

I'm big on both coils being wide open, now. Haha. The series-parallel things is pretty much the way to go here, I think.
