Seems to be getting a bit heated in this thread. Who knew that the mild mannered ex IOW milkman could arouse such passion. Personally I find his style of slap playing annoying and I dislike his band. That said my musical taste could probably be put into two categories. Misery and Despair.

Psycho Killer - Talking heads

Garden of delight - The Mission

I’m not familiar with that song or band but they work! The more you ignore me - Morrisey

In my mind grunge was just a label hung on a fairly blue collar music scene. Sub Pop and Seattle being the epicentre/catalyst of the scene I see little musical similarity between Nirvana and Soundgarden or The Sex Pistols and the Stranglers, or The Stone Roses and The Happy Mondays etc.

Was every artist on sub pop at the time grunge?

It’s just another pointless catch all moniker. Useful for lazy journalists, putting music into neat order in physical shops and Spotify and flogging fashion accessories.

I also “missed out” on Britpop. Listening to the music years later Pulp were interesting but a lot of it to my ears is inflicted with Beatle-esque melodies. A curse that haunts British music.

Good night irene - Leadbelly

I totally get where you are coming from and having played P’s for years before getting RSI know why you started the thread as I was searching for the same solution a while back. Edit: And yes I have a PJ with a jazz neck. The P pickup is in a slightly different position. It has its strengths and benefits but I am with you it’s not for me. It’s great but the Nate I settled on is always the bass I pick up.

I may be missing something but I thought these were PJ’s. I like them, others might not and would just want a P with a Jazz neck. What you keep saying is a BLT sandwich is a bacon butty because it contains bacon. Edit: For anyone looking that just wants a Fender P with a Jazz neck try a Nate P. Not exact but pretty damn close.

When you’re potentially looking at spending £1000 on a bass generally you want to get exactly what you are looking for. Even if just for aesthetic reasons. No one cares if your bass is fluorescent pink with a picture of Nigel Farrage on it. But it’s probably a deal breaker.
