Why are P-Bass necks often described as 'thick'?

Historically, P-Bass necks were designed with a larger profile to provide stability and a comfortable feel for players used to larger instruments.

Does the body wood significantly impact the P-Bass tone?

Yes, while the pickup is the primary tonal driver, alder (the most common wood) imparts a balanced tone, while ash can add more clarity and bite.

What does 'split-coil' refer to in the context of a P-Bass pickup?

A split-coil pickup divides the traditional two-coil design into two separate coils, often resulting in a slightly brighter and more articulate tone with reduced hum.
