Kinda. It’s polished aluminumView attachment 4761208

Well that’s pretty slick! I think I recognize that headstock from another pic you posted elsewhere. Kinda like my “Squier” (P bass), only thing “Squier” left is the body!

My Sadowsky NYC Verdine White Satin 5

Probably the first PJ I ever heard

One of my PJ's. Moniker Zuma which in its current state sports the SD Quarter Pounder PJ set. I may swap out the J pickup though...I'm getting a lot of 60 cycle hum...and the cavity has been very well shielded.

I have one and I absolutely love it!
Early 2000's MIM P special deluxe, or something like that.
Was supposed to be a beater bass for jams and gigs in seedy places, but the neck is amazing, the action is comfy, it has a G&L MFD P and DiMarzio J. It's become an indispensable workhorse.

LOVE and appreciate my '93 Jackson Concert V Professional w/ Dunlop SS SuperBrites

and my '75 P modded to JPJ in '80 w/ D'addario Chrome XL

Nice pickup combo— I’m holding on to a G&L MFD P pickup specifically to pair with a Dimarzio Model J in my next PJ build.. seems spicy! Love that color red too

I finished building this one about three weeks ago.

Started as a "fretwire" J-Bass raw kit fourteen months ago.
Upgraded, expanded, and now convertible PJ/JJ by swapping the guard and screwing in the desired pup (brass inserts for the screws).

Lefties have to be crafty to get what they want.

Sorry if this burns your eyes.
Or ears.

I'm sure I've owned 50 different basses with P/J configuration.
I generally find them charming and full of tones that are useful.
I wholeheartedly agree that the pickups working together is probably the reason why I sold some that I otherwise loved.
Then there was that whole 5-6 year Spector phase. That was fun.
I currently own two.
One fretless Fender Tony Franklin. A great sounding bass, period.

One Sadowsky that I've decided I can live without and is currently in the classifieds.

(Pay no attention to the medium scale P in this pic)

 

[Bikeguy57]

My first PJ. After much research, went with Frailin matched PJ set. Volume/Tone/3 way switch. AO neck and Warmoth alder body. Came out great!

[bobyoung53]

Fender TF Franklin fretless (modded VVT) and American Vintage Hot Rod Precision, both P/J.

 

[groovaholic]

Reverse PJ for the WIN

That (or a double reverse-P) would be my configuration of choice

[bassbooty]

Yes, I love PJ! It’s my favorite pickup configuration. Here are mine :

...and a hardy "thank you," @Gloompunk, for all that you do!

post a picture of your bass for us to see, I don't know. As long as it has a split coil near the neck and a single coil near the bridge, anything goes

anything but a plain old P!

i have 4 of 'em, and this is my newest, greatest-of-all-time, magical PJ:

audere (jazz 4B) preamp into EMG actives = anything! it's a lot of fun!
