Can I get a little P/J love?

[IotaNet]

Y'know, this is my second P/J and I am really starting to feel the whole P/J thing. You get some thump to go with your growl and a good look to boot!

This one has a Fender Noiseless at the bridge and DiMarzio DP122's at the neck. Add some Elixirs to the mix and she is sounding good and looking like a champ!

Can I get some love?

Oh, by the way -- this is an SX!

Love the PJ. I have a Fender P-Special mod/project bass in the works.

 

[Sorefinger]

Anybody who has Miles in his/her avatar can expect some love from me.

And yes, the P/J looks damn sexy. Mine is a Yamaha BB414 in metallic orange - love the range of sounds I can get from it. One of these days I´ll get me a Fender P/J with a maple fretboard...

Nice one, Iota.

For a long time I was GAS-ing hard for a 5-string P/J.

Send that sweet baby my way and I assure you I will magically transform into Barry White.

I really like resting my thumb on P pickups (especially reversed ones), and love J bridge tone.

PJ rules. I wish someone made a Reverse P/70's J location bass... perfect bass.

I find the P/J setup to be pretty good at times! I had it on my last fretless, and I liked it in that you could get a nice old school thump from the P pickup but I was kinda irked that I couldn't have a jazz tone at the neck too. Now I'm a humbuckers or jazz bars kinda guy!

Here is a bass which I quite like (and nearly bought) which has a sweet P/J setup. One of the best sounding Warwicks I've ever played! NB The one I nearly bought was blue.

My Ibanez Roadster 824 (mahogany body/maple FP) has itself lotsa switches... active / passive, and neck/both/bridge.

The bridge on that thing doesn't growl like a jazz, it does this burpy funk thing that sounds like Stevie Wonder on a Hohner D-6. That sound alone makes me want to put down my upright and join a funk wedding band so I can throw that switch to the bridge and step to the front o' the stage!

Haven't strung it with flats yet, though. ANy opinions on PJ plus Flats?

[Juniorkimbrough]

When I finally sell some of my basses and cabs I'm not using I'll definitely be dropping some cash on a P/J!

 

[ElMon]

how bad is the neck dive on that? i have a jackson kelly that must have a 75lb headstock because it drops like a rock.

 

[Fretless5verfan]

I'm lovin this P/J. Especially with sadowsky flats!

It's really not that bad. Not nearly like some of the BCR's I've had over the years. It's very light and no matter how I play it, my arm/elbow rests on the body wing. It's got an awesome neck and action, I never even notice any neck dive.
