PJ-Bass with Pearl block or dot inlays

Dots. Blocks belong on a jazz bass.

 

Blocks on a PJ are dope.

 

I rest my case...P body,,,,Jaguar (same as Jazz) neck

 

I would like to pick up a black pickguard for it so it will match the head stock like this......

 

+1 I don't care for blocks on a P style body.

 

Dots

 

NEITHER!!



Seriously though…for me, it would depend on the color of the body and pickguard, as well as the fretboard wood. It's all about the flow of shape and color. Personally, I think blocks look best matched up with Jazz and Jaguar bodies. So with that in mind, what colors are you looking put together?

Tell you what, I've done a bit of photo-shoppery for others here recently. Here's where they were posted. Want me to crank out a mock-up or two to show everyone?

 

Why not both? Dotted blocks are the in thing now

 

I recently built a pbass using an AllParts blocked and bound Jazz neck. The body is Warmoth Alder P body painted with Lake Placid Blue Laquer. With the Pearl white blocks on the neck I used a pearl white guard to tie it together with white pup covers. I think it looks great.

 

Photos of that, por favor.

 

Who really cares...as subjective a topic as there could be - whatever makes you happy, whatever makes you happy

 

I literally have both of these exact basses in my possession right now!

 

This is one of the most beautiful P basses I had ever seen.

Agreed with the whole, get whatever makes you happy.

 

What if its a PJ with a Jazz body huh

 

Exactly true, either one would work. Pay no attention to those who say blocks belong only on a Jazz, they have no imagination.

 

Blocked P/J's look pretty snazzy with a Jazz ashtray too
