Should I buy a P?
Yes.

Do I need a P?
Yes..

What pickguard for my P?
Tort

Do I need flats on my P?
Yes.

Whats with everyones infatuation with a P?
They're good.

For any other questions refer below:

If relating to anything positive about a P bass the answer is: Yes (i.e. is the P a good bass for a fusion metal latin low fi funk jazz prog rap sound?)

If relating to anything negative the answer is: No (i.e. Is the P Bass overrated?)

Alright hopefully that sorts it, a soon to be rapid decline in the number of P bass related threads.

I love when TBers even go as far to say a P bass has the best slap sound. No it doesn't.

One CAN slap on a P just as one CAN slap on a Hofner, a fretless Kala U bass or Gibson SG.

BTW: I am a P guy and have owned at least one for almost 30 years. Not a flame, just something I find amusing.

If I buy a P will I get more chicks? You betcha, big fella.

Can a P stop a home invasion? Batter up playa.

Will a P ever cheat? Hell no!

BUY A P BASS.

REVISION:

Should I buy a P?
No. (I have one. Not for sale.)

Do I need a P?
No. (I have one and rarely use it. They are overrated.)

What pickguard for my P?
Who cares? But, I have a Tort pick guard, and I don't even use a pick.

Do I need flats on my P?
Nope. But that's what is on mine.

One can slap on these, too! They resemble a Hofner and are fretless.

So can you fit a P-bass inside of a......nevermind.

 

[SteveV74]

P-bass means Pedulla-bass right?

The answer to every P-Bass question - get a Warwick.

 

[ThaCoast]

Touché.

I forgot to mention the rockabilly Lee Rocker style on uprights.

You have to stop talking or I will hit you.

A truck. A truck is the thing I will hit you with.

I might be in the minority but I think it does. I think I'm just burned out on the J slap tone. It's become a cliche for me. I much prefer the throaty bark of the slapped P. But you sure have to know what you're doing or it sounds like @$$.

 

[Vlasco]

Wow, you described my P.
