spectoremg Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 We're overdue a post on both so I thought I'd combine them for absolutely no reason. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I did both, I put one of my favourite jazz necks on an old P body I really like , and fitted a tonerider pickup with a kiogon loom , and with Labella LTF’s , it sounds great. But normally I’m jazz all the way 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Jazz. More sex, greater immunity to illness. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Neither. Unless I now live in a world where they're the only two government approved types of basses, then Precision. Until then, I'll enjoy one of the freedoms I still have at the moment and play my T-bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleOhStephan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Precision (PJ) with jazz neck. Even though I don't actually own one... 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Is this J v P when isolating due to coronavirus. If so then definitely enjoy a J at home before you get back in a band situation and it gets lost in the mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky 4000 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Times like these, what you want is a P with rounds and a J with flats. 😲 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I am thinking of swapping them round. But that’s only because I’ll get bored stuck in the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, before the virus drama, my plan was to sell 3 Fenders and put the cash towards a custom Sandberg build. I was talking to Holger at the end of 2018 and had spec'd a passive VT with stacked knobs and a specific neck profile (copy of my KT neck). I was just about to pull the trigger and was umming and ahhing about the finish, when an ex-display passive TT4 came up at a bargain price, and I can't resist a Sandberg bargain, so I went for that instead. Still want that VT though! 🙄😁 Edited March 24, 2020 by DoubleOhStephan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Got to be a Precision, it has been the weapon of choice by many bassists to wallop an errant punter over the head so it shouldn't have too much difficulty with an annoying virus, Jazz basses are for nice people! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I love Js, my no.1 is a Jazz (well, a very, very good MIJ copy) and much as I'm drawn to Ps, I've never found one I really got on with, either soundwise or playing. If only there existed a through-neck P style bass with J neck proportions and 2x P pickups, preferably made in Japan in the late 70s/early 80s, with maple fingerboard and a natural finish... Oh, bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Something much like a precision, but a little shorter and a lot cooler. In other words Leo's greatest creation - the mighty mustang bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah good, I really like the muted sound sometimes and I’ve always used foam under the strings , and still do on a few other basses, but the good thing about the bassmute is with just a flick of the lever you can have 3 types of mute from light to full on , or completely off .
