Bandmates prefer Jazz Basses...

[10cc]

Hey all! As you can tell from my profile picture on here, I play a G&L LB-100 P bass copy. I've played mostly P-style basses for the entirety of my bass playing and have always felt at home on them. I really do love my bass. However, we just got done rehearsal, and my guitar player/songwriter said something to me along the lines of: "Hey man, can't wait for you to lay down these tracks on my Jazz bass". So I guess my bass hasn't been providing the sound he's had in his head for the songs?? This also isn't the first instance of this happening, the guitar player of my last project stated multiple times: "You should totally get a jazz bass... they're the best bass."

What's a Precision loving guy to do with all these haters? I guess I should shop around and add a Jazz to the arsenal... (which I'm okay with)

Anyone else ever encounter this? I thought most people would prefer me to play a P since I would sit in the mix easier.

Been a P guy for a long time and play a 72 that sounds great. I've also owned three other J's over the years which all got sold or traded. Now I have another J, a 75 and this bass is number one now. Poor ole P. But in the band it has something my P couldn't do. I can also cop a P from my J so I've just been plugging away on the J now.
I'll probably check back in a couple years back on the P wagon but as for now the Jazz is slaying.

Update: the jazz sounded WAY better in the context of our band. My G&L LB-100 is lightyears ahead in build quality over his American Standard Jazz however.

Guess now I need a G&L JB

My band mates do, too. Damn them!
