Any P - J fans?

I really like the PJ set-ups. Both the traditionals (fender, Sadowsky vintage) and the newesr stuff, 80's kramers, and other pointly headstocks.

I really love the depth of sound in most P pickups, and then a variable amount of J pickup to get some cut.

I would have to say that adding a P would be a great second piece with enough tonal difference to make it a "justifiable" puchase.

I also perfer the P neck to the J neck. I know I am almost alone on that one.

 

Count me in!!

 

I love Pearl Jam!!!

 

pj is for me the best configuration.

 

I am building a P/J from Warmoth parts. I don't have a P-bass, but knew I wouldn't play it that often and have wanted to build a warmoth for several years.

I'm hoping that I like it!

I loved my Pedulla with PJ setup.

 

yep- got 2 PJ basses- a Fender Precision Plus (the neck's 41mm at the nut) and a Warmoth home-made PJ (neck like a 70's P bass about 43mm at the nut). (the J on that's a double Jazz humbucker, with series/parallel/single selector switch)

 

I just had a show last night & I brought my Spector NS-2 & it blew me away, again. I haven't played it in a while & I remember why I still have it.

Pearl Jam RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!


oh yah...PJ combination is my fav...great balance and killer tone...

 

My main bass right now is a Fender JP-90. This thing really knocks me out, tonewise, and I've got my Precision up for sale as a result. I'm not sure I'll get another P-J, but I'll definitely get something that has that Jazz bridge sound available.

JP-90's are kind of klunky looking, but mine is very playable and sounds really good.

 

I have a Washburn XB-102 (no laughter please) and it has the PJ style and i love it.

 

I need a good P bass. After Christmas spending is over, I think that I am going to build a Warmoth super P/J-5 bass.

Anyone know a good 5 string P bass pickup or P/J, not EMG, and with real P/J covers, not soapbars?

Can you get ashtrays to fit a 5 string?

I'm thinking tobacco sunburst over flame maple, with a red tortoise pickguard, lightweight elephant ear tuners, ebony board, and a Fender style headstock.

 

Yep, I like PJ.

 

IMO, It depends on the jazz and p tone you are looking for. What body wood are u using? (I know ur using a flamed maple top.) I find alder has a great punch for a jazz bass.

Personally, I love a warm but aggressive jazz bass tone, and believe it or not, i love the Duncan Basslines AJB-5. I know they are active, but I believe they sound terrific. Also check the Dimarzio Ultra Jazz 5. It isn't quite as warm as I would like, but still sounds good. (Both of these need modifications to fit modern fenders or something; check the websites.) Also, Bartolinis might be even better for you (milder sounding, more natural) if you dont like those other two. I like the 59J-L1.

For 5-String P, I like Barts quite a bit. I specifically like the 58TC and 58ST (active).


Make sure to check these fit ur bass.
Hope this helps.

 

I love the PJ combonation on pickups! But PBJ is better.

 

If I had the money I'd get a good P-J bass. But the Jazz types are cool.

 

I like the concept of a PJ...Heck, I own two, by coincidence, and I really dig it, when I'm sitting at home, with my practice amp. I've never really found a band use for the J sound. The P+J fits sometimes, but it's mostly straight P for me, at practice and home. Maybe better J pickups? They always sounded weak to me.


Hey, why don't I ever see JP configs? With a J neck and a P in the bridge? Hu? I'd like to hear that...
