I got a ibanez 650e with reversed p pups its one of my favorite basses

Great job not saying pee pee bass. Way more mature than I am.

I like that PU selector for all passive basses, co's it gives more tonal options without an active preamp ❤

Does the neck have graphite stablizer rod(s) ? Nice, very nice. Thx

I'm not sure what I was expecting but it sounds like a low-end Squire or off-brand. Not a jazz or a P and certainly no pizazz for me

It took 70+ years of "research" to find the serial connection of pickups...:). Still not available from Fender (and others) even on noisy and rather thin-sounding single-coil Jazz Basses and similar 2 pickup instruments... The same is true with Telecaster and even Strat pickups. This industry is so conservative...
What I can note here is the too-high value of the tone cap, the tone is becoming too dull at the full Tone pot down position, losing not only harmonics but even basic notes... Plus: tone cap values must be made switchable together with parallel and serial pickup/coils switching (and different in the case of different impedance pickups) - because there is a big difference between 8k (one pickup), 4k (parallel) or 16k (serial) loading (8k pickup impedance just for example).

No thanks. I'm not into Fender or Fender clones. I prefer 6 or 7 stringers with through-necks and 24 frets or more.
