FWIW

The standard P-Bass has a single humbucking pickup.

Many are modified and a Jazz pickup in the bridge position. A Jazz pickup sounds totally different from a P pickup.

(PS: the very very very very first P-bass has a single single coil pickup, it was switched to the humbucking split pickup we all know and love I believe in 1957)

its probably Trilogy, it's pretty much what most producers use for real kinda bass sounds these days.

I checked out the P-Bass on youtube, but so far havent really found any clips that sounded similar to this sound... there is some sort of groan in that sound I´m looking for that I really like.
I´ll have to try a real P-Bass these days, maybe with a little distortion.

cheers!

it's a fender Jazz, but close eough to a p in a pinch. Like anything else, the player gets the tone out of it. The bass won't make that sound without em. It's all over old disco records.
