Here's one of the blueys for sale. Not sure if that's the original bridge.

That's the original bridge, it is the same as mine.

This thread prompted me to take mine to practice Monday and I don't think someone who loves his P bass would be happy with the DC. While the extra pickup gives it more versatility it also makes it more finicky. Monday I just couldn't get it to sound like I wanted. It was either too bassy, too blurry, too brittle or too quiet. The P bass on the other hand just sounds good.

Well, I'm such a person :) However, I do not even try to compare these basses (or compare DC with J-bass or with Ric or with  MM or something else). DC plays absolutely in its own league.

I thought it had the look of a Hipshot type A.
Here's a natty

It's the same ABM bridge. These are inferior to Hipshot IMHO (due to the reason described earlier in this thread).

Which is exactly why we all need a P bass,

and a Thunderbird,

and a DC,

and a Ric, etc.

I don't feel the need for a P bass. Every time I hear one I get the same feeling as, chicken for dinner again?
