Are P Basses better than J Basses?

[tpaul]

Um... facetious... I got you, from the start. .

Good to know. I wasn't sure.

Punctuation can be so hard to parse...

I have to admit - Fender would call my Jazz basses Precisions, because they have Precision bodies and necks. The Pickups are Jazz pickups, though they're...hum cancelling.

Yeah my Jazz Special is one of the best P's I ever heard, and since Japan apparently screwed up the necks, it has a 1 5/8 neck anyway, so other than the fact that it has a j pup in the bridge, there's really nothing j about it.

I can make a J sound like a P but I cant make a P sound like a J, how's that? otherwise they both make bass type noises and that's good enough for me

Always check the source of the sarcasm... .

No. But then again, J-Basses are not better than P-basses, either. I don't really see it as a competition. I see basses as tools with which to make music. I use the tool that is appropriate for the job. I wouldn't take an upright bass to a death metal gig, but that doesn't make the upright inferior to the electric. I wouldn't use a drywall hammer to frame a house, but one hammer is not better than the other.

More good

Sure, but gooderist is gooder than more good.

Just take a P and smoke a J... Oh wait, were talking about basses here.

Is a big fart better than a smelly fart? The universe will never know.

 

[lasalle69]

We have the P/J for the indecisive.

 

[clickclack]

P with a J neck. Yes it is! Also, J single coils only sound good on a fretless.

There should be a way for computers and phones to administer a mild electric shock to people who ask this question.

is masturbation better than sex?

No, but sometimes it has to do.

 

[Mediocrity Man]

Get a P/J and you can at least annoy the purists.

Dammit I post something interesting and substantial and it gets totally ignored, getting one response of someone who marginalized and demeaned my content. Then someone posts this meaningless troll bait garbage and it gets everyone's attention. I'm calling shenanigans!!!

Is there an abridgement for this thread? It's too long. I didn't read it.
