Attack of the clones

There's more to life and luthiery than Fender Precision and Jazz basses.

Is anyone claiming otherwise?

Thanks people; 249 basses accounted far so far and no real run aways yet. Although the MIA Ps and Js and clone Ps and Js seem to be doing the business! Keep them coming...

[Dave Vader]

2 clone P's, one made up of ebay bits (fretless) and my beloved old Sunn Mustang (heavily tinkered with).

2007 S1 Precision. Silly S1 switch in the bin. They do work on a Jazz though. I don't get along with a Jazz neck. I would like to maybe have a a Jazz with a Precision neck.

[jimbobothy]

Had lots of basses but settled on a bitsa jazz and a CIJ '62 fretless. The CIJ quality as far as I'm concerned is at least as good as the USA stuff

[Lfalex v1.1]

'04 MIA S1 Jazz (ash-bodied)
'06 (?) Squier VMJ
Yamaha Attitude 10th Anniversary BS Sig. (well, it's modeled on a "P" and has a "P"-shaped pick-up in it...)

293 basses, plus those of you who own multiple basses that I couldn't work out how to count (sorry). I feel some analysis coming on along with the poll I did on flats and rounds for Precisions.

How's about - MiM - Jazz body, P/J pick ups & P neck

Whereas I would go with the P Body, the J neck and the PJs

Road Worn Precision - great bass and MIM!

[duke of prunes]

what if i have a MIA P bass with a MIJ J neck?

[ead]

I am more than happy to leave it to your individual judgement as to which category your bass is in. For my part if has J pups I'd probably vote for a Jazz bass of some description as to me the feel/profile of the neck is a personal thing. There are some interesting Frankenbasses around though!

I struggle a bit with P/J configurations as imo they are neither one nor the other!

My Fender HW1 jazz bass, by far one of the best jazz bass's ive played except a marcus miller(ive only played them) and my old fender jazz 24 which i sold. All three better then a Standard MIA in every way.

Been meaning to get a precision with some flatrounds for a while.

[rednose200]

73jazz that I have had since new and will never part with. Not much time for P basses. If you want the best of both worlds id get an Aerodyne and upgrade the jazz pup for an SD.

[Twigman]

1983 Squier JV 62 precision - owned from new never to be parted from
2011 Warmoth P-J - built myself, my new favourite

[The Burpster]

My issue with Fenders is not the design, its the QC - you could get a dog of a custom shop or a peach of a squire. That's just way too vague for me, and yes I have owned 3 different MIA P basses. Sadly I wouldnt consider having another.
