OK..now I know what you meant. What I'd do is go with a Steinberger Spirit bass. I did a review of one on my channel..if that's the sound you really liked. Keep in mind with this video of the amp I'm using. I'm playing through a Tech21 dUg Ultra 1000 head, and a Marshall 4x10 bottom. My tone is just what you described. Also, these pickups are based off of a Fender 60's P-Bass. I don't care what genre you're listening to from the 60's 70's ect, if it was done using a P-Bass...it's gonna sound like a P-Bass..you know what I mean? So don't let MY tone throw you off..it's still a P-Bass. But check out the Sprit bass..I owned a Steinberger in the 80's and I don't feel a difference in play? Hope this helps?
