It’s those SD QP pickups . I put them in 2 of my p basses and they sound so much better . And it’s funny - I immediately chose the Candy Apple Red P bass as my favorite and didn’t even realize that the bass had the SD’s .

79 (is the body Ash?) suits the song London Calling best, playing a few basslines from The Jam's All Mod Cons album would also sound good on that, 68 is my overall choice of all, classic. 79s Ash body & Maple fretboard, if that's what the body is plus the 68s Alder body & Rosewood fretboard, the 68 & 79 are a formidable duo

this was very interesting. LOVE that you play london calling which for me is the quintessential 'p-bass with a pick with tone at 100%' tone. to be honest, the ones with rosewood sounded very very close (1, 3, and 5). 2 sounded the most different one because of the ash body and maple neck. and for the 4th and 6th you hear the pickup A LOT, the overwound in the 4th and the extra clingy on the 6th.

The best I've ever played / heard was 1996 50th anniversary Fender P Bass Made in Japan in the Fujigen factory it was a 62 reissue but had its own vibe it was a little bit dark sounding and had a GOTOH bridge added. It blew a real 62 MIA away when A/B'ing them in the store. Crazy but true.

The differences between different basses of the same model will always be incredibly minor. It's completely subjective and personal between a person and the guitar they'll find suits them best. Someone might prefer the NM signature one over the '68, for that matter, and it's totally legitimate.

A really interesting comparison! Obviously, the set up, string condition, pickup heights etc. all factor into these things but to me, that vintage white bass has a very noticeable deadspot on its 5th fret G string. My absolute favourite of the bunch here is the sunburst 68. Many thanks for making this video! Great song choice and playing too, btw! :)

Thank You. The strings were the same on all basses and I made a correct setup on all of them. However, I did not setup the pickup heights on them because they are not mine and I did not want to change it. :) Did not notice the dead spot on AVRI '62. Will check it :)

Bass strings have different tones from when you start and after being played on for a while. They go from a stiffer condition to looser and livelier when played on . Especially if they've been on the bass for some time, This also could attribute to these P-Basses different tones your hearing.

My top three are the 68, 1993 62’ reissue, and the 1979. I’m looking to add a PBass to my collection with about a $2k cap. Right now I’m thinking of ordering direct from fender to design my own. The configuration I’m considering is a lake placid blue, tortoise shell pick guard, rosewood fretboard, custom shop 62’ pickups- not sure about the neck yet. Friend of mine ordered a jazz and they built and shipped it with 2 weeks-he’s happy with it. Has anyone else done this?
