Can't you turn off the j pickup in the P/J? Not to get too deep into it, thats the sound i like to use the most and can get it with either my squier P or my Yam 375 through behringer head. (The point is that they're both cheap basses through a cheap head) I'm not the most audiophilic on BC, but when someone says "the P sound" then *that's* the sound that I imagine. nothing special, just a good solid tone.


/edit
[quote name='josh3184']hmm, was wondering how to get that out of humbuckers (not gonna get it in the ray, but maybe the $$)[/quote]

My yam is a 2 humbucker jobbie. Pan knob turned to about 70% neck, 30% bridge. flat EQ on the bass, high-mids dropped a tad on the amp :)

hmm interesting, may give it a crack. Only reason I said I couldnt use the yammie is that its the wrong way round for me :rolleyes:

Saw 'em live last year - You're gonna need a P, a pick, and a dirty dirty Ampeg. Textbook, really. Love that tone, and that album too!!

[b]EDIT:[/b] The internet is making a liar of me - every picture of them shows him playing a natural Jazz, but I'd have sworn he had a shiny red Precision last time they were in Manchester. Maybe old age is catching up with me, I am almost 25 after all.
