The studio bass that producers love ????????
I bought a jazz bass about 20 years ago because it was absolutely beautiful. I didn't hate it but I did not prefer it to my precision. At the time I was playing a lot of shows and I was using an Ampeg coffin cabinet. Another great thing about the p bass, and this ended up probably being my favorite thing about the p bass, is how accommodating it is to being leaned against the cabinet or the wall or something. The contours of the jazz bass do not allow that.
I also play a 1985 Yamaha bass (BB1100S) and it has a body that copies the p bass.
O/J you get that awesome phat fat tone with a smidge of mid range that cuts nicely through the mix. ????
I almost got bribed by P bass propaganda damn
You look like,e you play with horses nuts
I play a Jazz Bass. Nuff said.
What pickups are those?
Pbasses do rule
Why don't you marry it!
I get the feeling I just learned a new term. When she's talking about the shape of the body, she says the Jazz Bass is kinda….."Sad Me"? Is that what she says? I don't know what she's actually saying, but I get the idea the JB body is not as comfortable to her.
What is the word she's saying there? Sad Me? I don't understand. HELP.
I love the versatility too. I bought an old scuffed up p bass for 100 bucks back in 05' and it's never left me.
Dang most of what you said is why I'm usually playing a Warwick. The neck fits and I'm really loving the tone for just about anything.
Stingray is better.
P bass is great…but don't sleep on a jazz bass…I have a 75 reissue , and it is full of growl and bark…can't go wrong with either one.
For outdoor and larger shows, I would always run my P-bass through an Ampeg SVT and JBL speakers. I built my own cabinets but ported them to JBL specs. I use a P-Bass because Jazz Basses are too small and narrow down at the nut end for me.
P-Bass is the best throughout history. You are so right in using a P-Bass. Most studio recording engineers prefer P-Basses. I am 68 years old and have been using nothing but a P-Bass since I was 14. Your Bass neck may need to be adjusted, have a tech check it out if you are not sure how to do it yourself.
That a player series p bass?
Have you tried the G&L L-1000 ?
It's basically the P Bass updated with all the improvements Leo wanted to make.
Are you like somebody famous?
You could try a PJ style bass. Mine has a Jazz style neck, and doesn't hurt my fingers at all, no stabbing lol! I do like the thicker neck profile of a classic P, but the PJ is awesome! It's a MIM Fender P Bass Special from 1993. Has a nicely tuned 2 band active EQ, and standard output passive pickups so cranking the EQ to max for metal works, but rolled back to the middle or lower it's great for less intense music.
I love the p- bass but most of all I love the PJ pass P body with thinner Jazz neck and the Jazz pickup in the bridge position. So versatile, I took a 2006 Mexican pbass special candy apple red gold pick guard and maple neck and hot rodded. It’s an active bass already but I put hip shot tuning machines and a himass hip shot bridge . Then Seymour Duncan quarter pound PJ set with Seymour Duncan active preamp with volume pull contour mid boost made for passive pickups . The thing is just awesome. I love it. The best of both fender basses hot rodded.
Up The Irons!! ????
Hey im somewhere around 1,000 years old, been playing bass and stopping pucks for around 900 years. God was a P bass player . JESUS PLAYED A j basss
No one wants a thick bass neck, though. ???? p bass's are pretty nice though.
I love this one. I took my MIM P bass to get serviced at GUitar Center once. (Huge mistake, I know.) The guy kept trying to convince me it was trash and made a huge deal over how I keep strat knobs on it. ????
Because the GREAT James Jamerson played one. ????????
Your action looks so high, that will really hurt me do you like it like that?
That low midrange woody thonk is legendary.
cool ✨️
U really dont have a clue do u.????
I have j basses and I always play my one and only P bass. I’ve gotten away from the jazz and really all into the p over the years. Especially recording.
I play bass for many many years and let me tell you why i can't play with a P-bass…..because i dont have one ???????? -the end!
I play both P and J Bass… Both with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounds..
I love p basses, but that action…yikes!!!
I play a Jazz bass. With flats, (Ancient once might I ad) a mute and very little tone. Played into a guitar amp back I find bass amps to sound to fat and loud for mostly playing and recording at home. My parents bought it for me 5 years or so ago. It was between that or a some kind of Yamaha. I always cringed a bit when I admitted I used a J as all my idols from James Jamerson to Steve Harris all used P but in recent weeks I have learned to love the J as a unique instrument, I find the scooped tone works well around the midrangy guitar. Sorry I went on a long tangent about tone, I just think its worth pointing out as I sound so different from most Jazz bass players.

Your action looks pretty high.
That’s cool! I’m playing a p bass because it’s the only bass I have. I would like a fret less bass.
Yep I am a Precision Guy 1st I couldn't agree with you more ????
I was “strictly” a Jazz Bass guy until 43… now I have 3. One fretless because Fretless is awesome. It’ll be getting the Tony Franklin treatment, throwing a Jazz pickup in the bridge position with a 3 way switch. Keep the “Jaco” accessible at the flick of a switch. Never rule out a Jazz Bass, it’s always nice to have one on hand when the producer asks for a little more growl. It’s P-Bass with rounds, P-Bass with flats and a Fretless (preferably with tapewound strings), and a Jazz with rounds. Fretless Jazz for extra points.
And a Mustang because Mustangs are cool, especially with flats…
I personally don't like P Bass at all, as i prefer stingray and more modern dual humbucker/headless basses, but it's great that we have so many options for everyone ????
