elementary newbie question

Hello all.

What is the difference between a (typical) P-bass and a (typical) J-bass in terms of sound?


thanks

A P-bass is mostly top n' bottom whereas a Jazz gives you the option of putting some mid-range honk up-front.

That's basically all there is to it.

Bear in mind the necks are very different too. You might like one and not the other.
