Another P vs. J analogy!

Not badI came up with this genius one this morning:
Ps are dogs, and Js are cats!
Dogs are always there for you. Cats are more mysterious and fickle.
Cats are for people who like subtlety and a certain sleek aloofness. Dogs are for people who appreciate having a faithful friend who always greets you happily and honestly when you get home, no matter how long you've been away, or what time of day it is.
If you need someone to jump through a glass door and drag you out of a burning building, you need a dog, not a cat.
If you're hosting the Queen of England at your house, and want to impress, you need a cat (a beautifully groomed Persian, wearing a diamond encrusted collar and lounging on a purple satin cushion), not a dog.
Whaddaya think?? Make sense?
Every dog has his day,
'least thats what they used to say,
but now and then, that's not the case,
there's a fat cat that runs this place.
Fat cat keeps getting fatter....

A cat can look at a queen

P bass and J bass owners are like Chevy and Ford owners. Comforted by convention, rather than the possibility of a better option. I love P basses.
I like that.
I have an old Ford, not because I think it's something great beyond being an old reliable car, but because I can fix most things on it myself and it isn't overloaded with electronics I don't want and cost the earth as spares.
Seems to me more like Chevy vs GMC trucks or Chevy Camaro vs Pontiac Firebird.

P bass is a dog
J bass is a cute kitten
Both make good music.
A warm and fuzzy bass haiku for you.

I like your analogy, it's fun. Some of you need to lighten up.
Hmmm I far prefer P basses and I FAR prefer cats. My neuroticism is showing.
Dump yer Fender basses and go synth. Then we can all show up at a mall someplace like guitarists do and play the Seinfeld jingle (instead of Smoke on the Water).
I suppose then we'd argue about power conditioners or some such.

J's are blondes, P's are brunettes. Some people swear by one or the other, most people like some from both categories.

If you said that Ps have more BARK and Js more GROWL, I'd be more on board with your analogy. IMHO, it has nothing to do with anything else you mentioned.
