Well..yes there is some bass...and there is a distinct mahogany sound in the tone..The guitar is very resonant unplugged by the way. Currently I have used a set of TI jazz rounds that I had around because I was afraid of stressing too much the neck with bass strings tension and because I needed to cut the strings to make them fit on the 25'' scale and be able to wrap the ends on the thin posts..a thing that you cannot do -say-with labella flats for sure!

Now I want to try to swap the P100 pickup with an actual bass pickup..I have the temptation to route for a mudbucker placed against the end of the neck but maybe it is a too deep route to dig..I'm afraid of destroying the guitar..

Anyway, having the pickup so close to the bridge like it is now makes for an interesting tone..

Why change it if it sounds good? Like I said in other posts: The Fender Musicmaster pick up is a Strat-6-pole pick up. The much loved Duesenberg Humbucker is a guitar humbucker too!

That guitar has a P100 (Stacked P90) which sounds a bit duller than a real P90. Maybe swap it too a real Gibson P90?
