I Like J Basses Better Than P Basses

Well, they look cooler, the necks are generally a little quicker. And without looking, they sound the same. Unless you’re dimed on the bridge and playing right over the metal I have never met a bassist who can tell a P from a J on a commercial recording. I know I can’t.
So if they fit your hand better it’s a better bass for you. Well done.
