redstriper Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 [quote name='edpirie' timestamp='1416217045' post='2607906'] Am I the only one here who finds a PJ combination unsatisfactory? [/quote] Agreed - I only use the neck pick up on my Jazz, but I prefer a Precision body. Nobody makes a Jazz with a Precision body, other than G&L AFAIK and I didn't like the JB-2 when I had one.

Conan Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) [quote name='StringPing.com' timestamp='1416218128' post='2607924'] I like the Jazz for its neck profile and versatility in pickup options. I like the sound of the Precision for its mids. Whichever suits you is the best one [/quote] That's this thread done really!

Norris Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Squier P-bass Special . Jazz neck, Precision body, PJ pups and cheap as chips. I fitted SD Quarter Pound pups in about 15 mins -> monster bass and still dead cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose one could be routed in, though..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No particular favourite has emerged, even though I've mostly played a P and have only had a J for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Whatever you decide, make sure you play the actual bass you're going to buy. Big variance in build quality and general 'feel' , esp at the cheaper end of the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 What you need is a bass with a J bridge pup before a MM pup then a P pup then a J bridge pup, then 5 minutes between each song to dial in the right sound for the number coming up.
