Hey JMJ,
It's been a while since I've posted a question, which doesn't necessarily mean I'm out of questions! 
Since PJ basses have become more popular recently, it seems to me, I wanted to see if you have any in your modest collection,and what your thoughts would be?
Hope all else is well!

| | | | Dude I use my Fender Tony Franklin fretted PJ ALL THE TIME in the studio these days. It's so good. Also, my two new-ish Yamaha BB's and older BB3000 are PJ, and they smoke.
Never thought I'd be down, but these days, I'm just loving that sound.

JMJ | J: you have a couple of those yamahas; are you rockin' both the passive and active models? |
11-10-2010, 01:17 PM
| | | | Only passive.
I like reverse PJ...I've got a BB1200 bass w/ a single P reversed, and it sounds cool...nice fat G and D string tone. BUT: I think the E and A suffer verrrry slightly.

| | Always late to catch on | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Croatia | | | Interesting to see that change, I would expect the inherent brighter tone of the PJ is inevitable, you would be using flats!
Though I got a PJ set with rounds and love the tone, it's usually the active basses I use flats on (MM for instance).
That tony franklin is a beast of a bass, fretted and fretless! Not a big fan of his playing, but he sure made one great signature bass, which is an interesting change from fenders usual "signature" endeavors!

| | | | I think the Tony Franklin bass is the finest signature bass they've ever met....well, that and the Custom Shop Pino Palladino...my other fave.
