P players are gay?[/quote] you could come round my house and say that if you want - i'll give you a lesson on how it feels to be hit in the face with the lower bout of a P bass Quote
Scoop Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I can understand people having a preference for the necks on Ps or Js, I suppose, but it simply doesn't apply to me. My attitude is simply this: It's a bass neck, get on with it. I prefer the sound of a Precision in most circumstances but don't dislike the sound of Jazz basses. I have both (two precision types and one jazz type) but only one is a Fender and that's a '51P re-issue - so isn't what you would recognise as a common or garden P-type anyway (and which actually sounds the best of the three of them).

The Burpster Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Not getting involved in the gay/straight thing, as both gay boys+ girls and stright boys and girls play P +Js so its kinda irrelevant (if not faintly amusing....!) P for me as I have big butch manly hands and I cant get on wiv ickle J necks! Quote
BigBeefChief Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Burpster, tell me more about those big butch manly hands...... .....I'm close. Quote
bnt Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Can I undo my vote? I thought this was about [i]pickups[/i], so I voted both. If it's the whole bass you mean, I vote neither - I am a Fender-free zone. Quote

I'm just generally angry you're more than welcome to come round and have a go, but if this is you, then i'm not too worried Quote
skywalker Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 J bcoz of the slim neck, but a P with a Jazz neck (Like the Squiers) would be good. Quote

tauzero Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I'm disappointed. I voted for neither and my vote was rejected. What sort of democracy is this, eh? What's wrong with being able to vote "none of the above" rather than having to select between a dreary lump of wood with sort-of-one pickup and a dreary bit of wood with two pickups? Eh? Quote

Just for fun though Quote
clauster Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Okay, I've just voted - for the J (but I want S1 switching too please ) Quote

paul, the Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I voted P. They've got a humble cool that the J will never understand. Quote
