MythSte Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I voted J - I find that the neck pickup on a jazz sounds near enough like a P bass for me anyway, so why turn down versatility eh!! Quote
charic Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Maybe this is why leo made to basses that are worthwhile? Quote
Dusty Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 If your stuck between a P or a J.... easy [b]Get a PJ ![/b] Mine is a US Lakland (better than new Fenders) Bob Glaub P body with a Joe Osborn J neck. It has Lindy Fralin 'P' pick ups at the neck and Lindy fralin 'J' pick up at the bridge. Have spent many years and a fortune trying to find 'my' ultimate bass and there it is. Had various Ric's, Fenders, Warwicks, Status etc etc etc, but the Lakland is the dogs danglies. P.s, could not vote as I'm torn between the two... but the J would probably just win it! Quote
bigjohn Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I love my pj. I've got two necks for it. One j and one p. It's like doing twins. Quote

Moody Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I play a J so voted that. plus I can't spell [s]precison[/s] [s]Precission [/s] P Quote
lowhand_mike Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 back in the hands of the J, i dont like the smell of P though i have to say i prefer the sound of a j special over both but that isnt an option, so J did i say J? Quote
BigBeefChief Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Thank God J is back in front. I try and play a P every once in a while because I'd love to like them, but they always feel like dogsh1t in my hands. ......but at least they're not German and made of driftwood. Quote
clauster Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 [quote]......but at least they're not German and made of driftwood.[/quote] You really have a thing about Warwicks, don't you? Quote
BigBeefChief Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I hate their very existence. Small bodied, long necked, ugly pieces of wood, usually in the hands of mulleted, German session musicians, who split they're time between World of Warcraft and fetish clubs... OR.. Played my long haired geeks, who are still trying to upset their middle class parents at 35 years of age playing in "metal" bands to rapidly decreasing audiences, who also split their time between World of Warcraft and fetish clubs.... OR.. People who just like the sound of them and enjoy playing them. Quote

nick Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) P for me - it's a proper man's bass! J's are for failed guitarists, who fancy having a crack at something that is (hopefully) easier to play, due to having two less strings Edited May 7, 2008 by nick Quote
