what color pickguard? (formerly do i get another p-bass)

[Dapper Bandit]

Not unreasonably heavy, it is a slab of wood but nothing out of the ordinary. But I used to play an Ibanez BTB something 6 string and that was a BEAST, weight wise.

[Sonaboy]

Now j basses, I'd be talking you out it

Really?

[Mudfuzz]

Every time someone buys a jazz bass God kills a kitten.

[Achtane]

Fuck cats.
But also jazz basses.

[Dapper Bandit]

Jazz basses are kinda better than P basses though. The neck pickup solo'd is essentially the same sound and they look waaaay cooler.

Personal preference may have an effect on my opinion, however.

[coldbrightsunlight]

I totally disagree.

But I also like jazz basses for the different sound and neck. This is why I have a J and a P/J.

DIS RIGHT HEAR.

I know plenty of guys who can make Ps total thunder, but my fingers must be full of buttercreme, because I've never been able to make a P sound better than a Jazz.

This one was the last that I played while in the studio, but ended up not using any of the takes.
It's seen some uhh...action.

[Sonaboy]

[friendship]

[kosta]

Is that one of those Precision Elite II's?

[Sonaboy]

Is that one of those Precision Elite II's?

yeah - he's got two of 'em.
one is a lot cleaner. i think he keeps this one in the studio just to soak up the stank in the room.

Always been keen to try one of those.

[Dapper Bandit]

Ugh, the Elite II is probably my one real caveat in the whole Jazz/Precision fight. They're so ugly they're sexy. Shoulda bought one when 80's Fenders were regarded as poorly made crap before they became the new vintage and were subject to historic revisionism like 70's Fenders.

Full disclosure, I also have a jazz bass, but it's fretless. It sounds good too. Both jazz and precision basses sound cool to me!
