I listen to, and play hard/progressive rock. I'm not talking any death metal, or any of this stuff that just rips chaotic noise. I'm more about progression and tone. My ideal music sound would be a deep punchy low note sound, but with a fair bit a high end tone, but at the same time avoiding that high end snap that can come from a jazz pickup turned to full. (I find myself changing my bass setting constantly while playing).
I also play some quick intricate melodies/harmonies, which makes me suited to a P-bass, i expect. (My one and only bass right now is an old beat up Fender P-bass with a jazz bridge pickup).
I'm more or less looking for an overall general upgrade without losing what a like about my bass's sound, but gaining what I dont have.
Perhaps the RD, or the others you mentioned are nowhere close to what I need. If thats the case, any suggestions?
