| While it's not the most ergonomic bass and doesn't have 24 frets any P-bass could/should be set-up to be quite playable all the way up the neck. It's possible the bass you played was set-up poorly, or maybe had a hump in the neck or excessive fret wear that made it difficult/impossible to hold a good set-up in the upper register.
