If a J bass sounds like Cheltenham does a P bass sound more like Gloucester thus making it better for metal?

All basses sound like all locations and all locations, basses and everything else are good for metal (and every other genre of music).

I'm glad that has finally been cleared up.

We now need a definitive statement on strings and pickups and we can all go home

I use these to get a deeper, more harmonically rich tone. 

 

Only the best for the @Osiris table

All strings are like everything else, everything else is like all pickups. Omnisimilar.

Excellent, thank you for that.  I'm now looking forward to seeing a metal act with a bassist using a Hofner strung with flats (in standard tuning)

[Cuzzie]

If a P is Gloucester is a double P like Double Gloucester, or is that a little cheesy.....

Or perhaps a Bolivian gypsy trio playing math rock on cucumbers strung with Elvis wigs because everything is like everything else.

If a P is Gloucester and a J is Cheltenham, is a PJ Longlevens  or Bamfurlong?

All cheeses are the same and smell better the further you get away from them.

That’s not far off - I gave back a purchase inside an hour once due to the fungus and mould it had on it

They're great for metal.

All mine sound the same as I tend to use a pick.

Help me out people -- do all picks sound the same, would you say?

[nige1968]

Question is, what do ears sound like? My money's on crunchy

No.

But I prefer a mattock.

Mattocks don't sound the same.

You need two fingers in life , an index for pointing at things accompanied by shouting loudly at foreigners in English and  a middle one for indicating your displeasure at other drivers

Gloucester is better for metal???

[Newfoundfreedom]

I used to be in a Hot Chocolate tribute band, and these were the only ones I could use to get that truly authentic tone. 

 

[Newfoundfreedom]

I have to profoundly disagree. 

Everyone knows the best metal comes from Sheffield!
