Love the PJ look and sound,
Jay
 
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?


Joe;

Don't hesitate! I have Chromes on both my BB415 and my SB-2, and they're awesome. Old school sound with some brightness dialed in if you so desire.
 
Dude! I had looked into replicating the same style as this thru warmoth about 3 years ago, but it was to damned expensive!
The only difference was I wanted trans white with tort!

Give more info on this thing if you will!!:hyper:

Hey Billy, it's an american Precision deluxe 5... all stock except for the pickguard wich i got through Fender.....killin bass. Jazz bass tones, Pbass tones, inbetween....kinda like ragu... "it's all in there".
 
Absolutely some P/J love, Iota! Very nice new bass, congrats!

I have two P/J's- love them both, they are the two oldest basses still in my possession.

1) 1986 Peavey Foundation, with both a fretted (original) neck and a fretless one ordered from Peavey, and Seymour Quarter Pounder pickups

2) 1990 Warmoth walnut P-bass body with EMG active P/J's. Originally a fretted with a Warmoth padauk neck and ebony fingerboard, now a fretless with a Warmoth maple neck and fretlined ebony board.

Beautiful tones from the P/J sets! Although very different from each other.
