PJ on a jazz body.

[pbass888]

my amigo jeff andrews plays a p with a p and j pup. the neck width is a "d" precision neck from the 60s and one of the best basses ive played. see it here....

i think its present incarnation has a master pan, master volume and tone.
its a great configuration also consider a 3 way switch and a master volume and tone (which I have on my kallas 66 jazz)

Recently picked up a Road Worn Jazz that was modded into a p/j. I just changed the p pickup to an actual road worn 50s one that I scored on here, replacing the 62 RI that the bass's original owner put in when doing the mod.

The pic has the original 62 Precision pickup in it. Picture was taken before I changed it.

Here she is:

I have one... The P pickup is Non RW/RP so there is no phasing issue with the single coil.

And its active sister should be delivered "soon"

I like the jazz neck, although the P body would be lighter. My Nordy VJ5:

I'm considering a PJ and can't decide between P and J body!

Thing is I'm going for PJT in the sense I'm going to add a Telecaster neck headstock on a Jazz neck, so maybe I need a P body. Hmmmm

I actually prefer the shape of P bodies - so maybe that's the way to go: P body, J neck T headstock. With a PJ pickup configuration obviously!

Anyone think I'm mad?

Doesn't the split coil pickup have to be higher if you put it on a jazz body?

 

[Davo-London]

Higher? Do you mean further from the bridge? I don't see why.

I just received this.The P/J set up is kinda tight in the pickguard dept.This is a good solution.

 

[Davo-London]

I agree - no pick guard is the way to go (Idaho)

Pudge that is beautiful wood, what kind is it? It would be a shame to cover it with plastic. Almost has a camo kinda thing goin' on. Where did it come from?

 

[Davo-London]

Korina I would guess!

Yeah.. I meant further from the bridge. That's the only reason that's keeping from doing a jazz body

Is that true? Is the volume of a Jazz greater than the volume of a Precision?

[smeet]

I think so but all I know is that P basses seem consistently about a pound lighter than Js.

This body black korina or black limba.I bought this in the classifieds,the price was right.A big plus is it weighs 4 lbs.I'll prob. load it with dimarzios,if it was a straight jazz rout it would be getting bardens i have.

Oh man... I wondered where this went. Had it not been a 5 I would have purchased it for sure. Hell... I should have purchased it anyway.

I prefer the P/J pickup configuration on a Jazz style body.

I have a Fender Reggie Hamilton Standard Jazz and the P pickup is very slightly closer to the neck than it is on a P bass. Just a couple/three mm. Some Jazz bodied P/Js put it a lot farther from the bridge than it should be, but not the Reggie.

Here is my Sadowsky V4PJ. Basically, it is their smaller version of a jazz body with a pj option.
