Am I the only one prefering the vintage fret size to the newer medium jumbo that comes all over their basses now? |

I noticed that my '06 P bass has the jumbo frets but my '12 P bass has more narrow frets. Sometimes I like the small frets, other times I like 'em big round and juicy. |

I just ordered a 2012 MIA std PBass (in Jade pearl!) and I'm a bit wondering if the jumbo frets will make it for me... I've always prefered the smaller frets of my CS PBass 55, or AM vintage 62 jazz, etc... I think they're all the same.
Now, I have these medium jumbo on my PBass Pro 2012, and I'm not in love with those... Hope I'll prefer the feeling on the AM std... |

Small wire allows me to have lower perceived action.

Small wire allows me to have lower perceived action. | And more precise intonation. |
