Has anyone played a P/P configuration? I'm curious to know what the tonal difference is between a P/P and the P/J.

it looks badass, like monster tires on a truck, but i've never heard one set up this way that i liked the sound of that much.
 
Sounds pretty good here:


wow, it does, doesn't it? it actually sounds a lot like a jazz bass set to both pickups.

what an odd choice of instruments for that gig (that BC rich with the 14 switches would make more sense as a spinal tap bass), but in the hands of jerry preston it's just further proof that a master can make anything sound good. :hiding:
 
With P neck and P bridge you get P pup sound char for both neck and bridge and also from both pups blended. Nicely diff from P neck and Jazz bridge. Only PP basses Ive owned have been BC Richs. Next best thing to humbucker/soapbar neck and bridge pups to me.
