The Fender Jazz and Precision are the two most legendary basses in history, making up 83.5% of all recorded music. Or something like that, I didn’t actually do the math.
They sound and feel TOTALLY different, and you need to know the differences to figure out which is right for you, P bass vs J bass. That’s why in this video I’ll walk you through:
* Which is better for rock?
* What about funk?
* Emm, what about soul?

Which bass is your favorite and why? ????
Or an P/J bass ?
The answer is, you'll want both when you start playing.
try de PJ vs J Please!
Realistically you need both. A P bass lends itself towards music where the bass leads the melody, think Motown. A J bass, with its mid scooped tone, sounds better with music where the bass leads the rhythm, like funk, pop, disco, ect. Obviously there is crossover but as a recording artist it’s rare that a producer will ask you to slap on a P bass unless they’re looking for a specific effect.
Holly crap, HopMonk! been many years.
I always owned P-basses and several years ago finally got a J-bass, and honestly, I love J a little more. The tonal versatility and neck profile just suit me more.
Nice playing, btw.
For me, it's about the neck. I love the Jazz neck better. I can get just about any sound I want out of the Jazz. I mean with today's options with electronics, and why not use them if you an get the sound you want, the Jazz just does it for me. I appreciate the P-bass and have heard what it has done over the years, and it it magnificent, I just like the feel of the Jazz….it's personal.
P for normal basslines
J for slap
1:11 which genre exactly doesnt the p bass fit
Jazz bass all day.
Perfect comparation! Like your videos.
But I still can't decide, so please advise which one to get the sound of GnR -Duff Mckagan ( without robbing a bank???? )
they should make a p bass with a jazz bass pickup on the bridge….
I have been playing a P bass for years and it is my go to bass. I put a DiMarzio J bass pickup on my first P bass and noticed a difference in tone. A few years ago I got an American Performer P bass which has both the split pickup in the middle and the J bass pickup in the bridge and have the best of both worlds.
Jb
Wow having the J and P on the shirts was super helpful!!!
I'll stick with my 1985 Fender P-Bass Lyte.. It's a great P-J configuration. I put passive pickups in it.. It has worked as my main bass for 33 years!! Plus it's lightweight, has a jazz neck and is wonderful to play!!
Perfect video!
I have viewed several videos on what’s better: P or J. This has got to be THE BEST P Vs J comparison video. Well done & Thank you. BTW: Today is Thanksgiving, so have a good one……..
Simple reason. Pros have front-of-house guys who can tweak the P-bass' sounds until it's right for the room. Beginners are on their own and need the extra possibilities of a Jazz.
I love the design and sound of the P-bass and the J-bass neck…
PJ is for the best of both worlds
What song is at 6:34 i cant seem to find it, it has been stuck in my head for a while without knowing its title lmao
