From the web:

The 1980 Pulser Bass delivers a classic, punchy, and warm low-end tone that replicates the iconic P-bass thump. Because of the maple fretboard and seasoned wood, it naturally provides clear, bright high-end cuts when digging into the strings. Players note that the original passive Yamaha pickups tend to have a slightly stronger, hotter output than contemporary Fenders from the late '70s and early '80s. The neck profile is comfortably slim—narrower than a traditional chunkier 1950s Fender P-bass but with more substance than a skinny Jazz Bass neck.
