Seriously happy with my SX for a hand shandy, after a bit of fettling. If 5 string, perfect.
It's not easy to find a P style V
Fender made a run maybe 7-10 years back
Mike Lull does one
The East Asian MTD line has one
Yep, thinking a build or two is on the cards... chinese 5 string P necks aplenty, save me time. Once worked on they can be quite playable.

Have never been able to bump the bridge pickup properly.
Be it technique, pickup height, fingers vs plectrum it's a work in progress

It plays very well indeed. Better than a lot of genuine Fenders. But I have too many jazzes now (too many basses overall
)
