Paul S Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hohner B2A? Sounds as much like a P-Bass as any P-Bass I have owned or tried. So guess by definition, also the Hohner B-Bass and Hohner jack, which are pretty well the same beast dressed up differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

risingson Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I wouldn't necessarily describe it as 'fat', but my Lakland Daryl Jones 4 is very 'forward' and well defined, not to mention being light too. It can growl as well. I'd recommend it if you're a fan of Jazz basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackers Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 +1 for the aerodyne jazz. It can do everything from snarling rock to fat, warm vintage. great basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The jazz and precision aerodyne appear very similar (same PJ configuration, same body contouring, possibly same neck profile etc), but when I bought mine i played them both, and found the precision to be less aggressive and better suited for vintage sounds. All IME and IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Fender Classic 50's P-bass has about the most comfortable, quickest neck I've felt on a p-bass, and obviously would do warm and round tone beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matski Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have a Fender Precision '57 reissue - a Japanese one - and it ticks all your boxes: light (about 8lbs), lovely neck (quite a flat rear profile - not big and chunky), and it definitely does the fat vintage warm tone thang.
