I am going from a 4 string to a 4 string. They are both Fender or Fender style instruments (meaning similar fret board radius etc etc) and I'm playing the same songs.
It is harder for me to play fast songs on the P neck that involve a lot of finger movement. When I go back to my better quality Jazz what was nearly impossible for me to get a good note sound out of on my P I could do much easier with the J. And it sounded a whole lot better. Mental OR Physical, I noticed that the harshness of the sound wasn't there such as fretbuzz or clicking that I had before I started practicing with a P bass.
What I'm trying to determine is if the better playing is only a result of more practicing or if it's the result of an easier feel from switching from the P to the J. OR both.
I pretty much reiterated the thread subject but I think it was needed. |
A lot of what you're describing can be due to differences in materials, setup, back of neck finish, where the pickups are i.e. one bass doesn't play as well as the other or doesn't even sound the same.
Ideally you're technique and your ability to play should transcend any bass you play.
