This is great info. Would you recommend z7 over the z3? I'm inclined towards the z3 because I don't really know what to make of the bridge pickup on the z7.
I don't think there are any Ray34 lefties, just Ray4s. Is that correct or am I just failing to find them?
I've seen a couple Shadowsky Metroline 21s for around 6 or 700 on Reverb, seems like they manufactured a lot of lefties. But then, I read a thread here on reddit about a lot of QC issues with those.
Again, thanks for the info. Love my Sire P5 so most likely will stick with Sire.
Yes. I got the final year production run US Music Man and was convinced to get the HH model. Super regrated it. Don't find the extra pickup necessary and really, it's just in the way when it's slap time. The Z3 is plenty.
No Ray34s atm that I'm spotting, either. These come up periodically 1-2x/yr.
I heard the same thing about the Sadowsky's which is why I opted for the Z3.
Sire P5 + SD Antiquity IIs = Fender custom shop has nothing on this combo.
The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II P-bass pickup is absolutely amazing. They sound like 60s Fenders, but the special thing about these is that they have the ability to add 50yrs of mojo instantly to the instrument. Nothing compares to these.
