Wait, how does this song start again??
I realize one is technically a Jazz with a Precision body.
Because I love my Precision... But I hate pickguards...
I kinda like your lawn, though- Wait, I think there's a lounge chair in my ride...
Can you share specs on this one? Looks great.
This is a quote:(let's keep this light hearted)
The P bass just works. It's simple and effective, and countless people have used it on countless records. It can handle most any genre without issue.
What's the best bass for rock? P bass. Sometimes you will like a bit of treble with a more rick-ish sound.
What's the best bass for blues? P bass.
What's the best bass for metal? P bass. If it's five string.
What's the best bass for funk? P bass. When using spacelike effects and/or slapping you will want a bit of midrange (maybe more than a bit).
Don't worry I'm not here to start a war, this is just my way of taking out my endless fustrations over the fact that I don't currently own a p.

Didn't we have one of these threads last week? Glad I saved this pic on my phone.
He's my MIJ E series purchased brand new from GC in 1987.

Except when it isn't.
Sometimes I wonder if Fender has paid marketing people just trolling TB.
You forget: what's the best bass for jazz? P bass.
I like my'63 AVRI. It's a solid bass. It does what it does well. Feels nice. I like the frets and the radius. I like the meaty tone. But dude, seriously, they are overrated here on TB. I mean seriously.
I played active four and five string basses for about 15 years or so before finding out I love the P bass. I always swore off Fender in my earlier years because 'everyone plays them' and I never gave it a chance. I decided I didn't like it before ever really giving one a go.
Long story short I tried one. Fell in love with it. Now that's all I play! (Certified metal head here.)
I'd agree that they have their place. But I've been around, and around, and around, and around, and around with people on TB over this monolithic idea that some how the Fender P bass (there are better Precision basses out there) is the be all end all of existence.
Bottom line: If that was so self evident then no one would be able to manufacture other basses.
