PJ Club

On the other hand, all it would take to re-engage it would be a little wiring work. As it stands, @Monster Truck's Fernandes is little different than a P/J bass with the bridge pickup's volume turned all the way down. If it were my call, I'd say it still technically qualifies, but I'm not the one who decides such things.

I see where you're coming from. Happy to go with the herd on this one. If he hadn't mentioned it we'd have never known, and there is no mandatory disclosure...
Open minded as always..

Yup, you know how I roll.
The official Squier snob of Talk Bass!
Don't worry, I still have my Black Pro-Tone and the Pewter Special.

Nice! :thumbsup:

Someone posted a list of finishes used on the Squier P-Bass Special on this or some other thread. If I remember correctly, there was something like an English Racing Green, similar to the classic Jaguar (the car, not the bass) color. Is that it?

It's Sherwood Green. Of which there are several variations. From light to dark.

There ain't a hell of alot of P/TB basses out there, if they need a home I think they ought to be allowed in. Even the P/MM crowd should be welcomed, although that config is growing in popularity and may warrant it's own club. Our humble P/J Club is not exactly bursting at the seems with membership...I say, the more the merrier. It can only mean more pictures of unique basses!

I really think the key component of the P/J is the Split P, no substitutions should be allowed for that position.
 
@Double E, do you think position matters? I'm putting together a bass with a split p pup and a stacked coil...though they're going to be cased in Tbird covers...that might be stretching it IMO.

I can't speak with any authority here, but if member opinions count for anything, I'd say let it in. After all, no on has called out my "Projekt Blue" bass as a P/P, since it's packing a split-coil pup in the bridge position.
(Yay Fender Super 55's! :woot:)

IMHO, PJ is more a visual thing... P+1 would start getting into basses with pickups in front of the P like (Yamaha Attitudes), and dual Ps and all that. Anarchy is a few steps from that.

Also, IMHO, a split coil pickup in a Jazz casing is just that, a split coil pickup in a Jazz casing. Not a P. To me, the magic of the P is the split with an offset.
