organic Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 When I 1st joined I remarked on how I'd bought a J but preferred the sound of a P. From all the suggestions given, I've had the series/parallel switch thing done to it. In series mode it sounds more like a sort of P/J hybrid, it's the J sound but with a bit more bottom and a bit more oomph. I rather like it. Parallel handles the higher notes better, they're clearer and more articulated but series gives a lot more grunt down the bottom end. The great thing is it's like having 2 basses in the same body Also had Status Hot Wire Half Wounds put on with the mods and I really love the sound, it's so rich throughout the entire range. So a big thankyou for all the advice I've been given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 You really need a P to get the sound of a P. However, glad you're liking your J. I like Status Half Wounds too, very underrated imho. I had a Squier VM Jazz V a while back and I fitted an Audere JZ3 tone circuit to it, which basically turned it into a Super Jazz. I'm sure the East J-Retro would be great too, thought I've not used one... the Auderes do come up second hand, but only rarely.
