Thanks again for your reply. The reason I'm asking is that, owning an 2008 AmSt Pbass (with medium jumbo frets), I'm considering buying a 2019 (or 2020, not sure what year exactly it is) AmPro Pbass (with narrow-tall frets). I cannot try it out, have to mail order it, so I'm trying to figure out in advance whether I'll like it as regards the different frets, or not.

Gotcha- I’m not particularly familiar with the (proposed) benefits from either- just know what my hands/fingers feel- it is a very minimal difference... as I mentioned- I, mainly, sold the bass because I didn’t bond with the J body. Hope you can find what works for you! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the input. I guess you're right, the difference must be minimal yet somehow exaggerated in what people write about it, as it happens...

That- they are! :bassist:
Personally though, I buy nordstrands. My favorite "singles" are the NJ4SE. That's what I got. But I had a set of quarter pound singles, and a set the appollos in my kestrel. The quarter pounders up'd the output and gave it more high end, but the Apollos give a nice smooth mid range. Good and tight still too.
