Not mine, but there is a Sadowsky Jazz with PJ config for sale on Basschat. Good condition, good price and great sound if you listen to the guys website.

I have a Mike Lull PJ5. You don't see many about but I'd recommend them to everyone.

I really like the actual specs of the Kiesel PB 5. You can spruce it up any old way you please.

Budget?

Dingwall Super PJ5.

 

[FunkySpoo]

Depending on budget Mike Lull makes really nice instruments. If you like a PJ with a J body instead of a P body there's this Lull.

One of these active 5-string PJ's happens to be at the top of my current GAS list.

A few that immediately came to mind

ESP

Dingwall

Sadowsky

I’ve actually seen several fender jazz 5 strings modded into a pj and I think it looks great.

In the “under a grand” market, I like Yamaha, Ibanez, and Sire! I have an Ibanez SGR 655.

Lots of great suggestions, thanks! I'm trying to keep the budget low but you know how it is...

What make is that one?

 

[Bass Man Dan]

I got a used BB235 for $200, I think it plays and sounds great. A little heavy, the looks are a bit different, but the important boxes (playability and sound) are checked.

What make is that one?

That's a Yamaha from their BB line. Very fine PJ offerings in 4 and 5 string for every budget.

Hi ficelles

what about Sandberg?

[caledoneus83]

Ibanez makes a Talman Bass 5 string with active P/J pickups... Sweetwater has them for under $300

 

[michael_t]

What make is that one?

Yamaha BB735A.

Just acquired a Yamaha TRBX505 back in April and I couldn't be happier.

Now I have a P, a J and an active 5-string HH. All I need now is a PJ and it will be another Yamaha.

A big +1 on that. I bought mine used:

 

[MoeTown1986]

I made my own with a Fender Jazz Bass and a router.

On the lower end, many of the ones mentioned above are great. I also find this new Schecter to be intersting:

I bought a Wilkins PJ5 5-6 years ago, and it killed all my GAS. There is no more comfortable or better playing and sounding bass out there, IME...
