Is it worth getting a P Bass?

[tmjordan100]

Hi,

I currently own a 2005 musicman sterling and a 2005 fender jazz with the s1 switch. I like playing with the switch on because it gives a fatter pino like tone more like the P bass but doesn't quite get there, I was wondering whether its worth going all out to get a p bass.. is it worth it if i already have the s1 switch on the jazz?

I play through an aguilar tone hammer 500 with the DB212 cab, and play a variety of styles.

Thanks

If it ain't a pbass it ain't a pbass.

With your amp/cab combo, a Precision would compliment your arsenal rather well.

you might need the right p bass, one with a non resonant body or muffled d & g strings probably isn't the ticket

Yep.

Most everyone should have a P in their arsenal. Definitely in the first three.

Imo.

I like my P very much and find it to have been an extremely worthwhile addition.
I'd say it's very much worth getting a Pbass.

 

[Mtnman]

Yes. It is worth it.

Of course you should have a P-bass! A Jazz with a series/parallel switch is nice, but it ain't a P !

Hook It up p Bass, p Bass, p bass btw you have my ideal setup

It is worth getting a GOOD P-bass!

 

[SidMau]

I'd say no.

 

[mokkat]
