Proof that P is better than J?

[SolarMan]

If you haven't eaten in 2 weeks, a good ham sandwich is better than either. What's "best" is relative to your needs.

Not for a vegan!

I think I saw Geddy with one at some point. I'd really like to try a J bass with P neck just to see what impact it would have on the tone.

IMO, none. I tried that with a p&J I once owned. Zip zero nada carrots . I put 'em back.

Umm...only if you rewired.

My Sadowsky and Levinson have blend controls. The first thing I did with Fender basses was install a blend. Set volume once. Find the tone. I hate messing with knobs.

All Jazzes should come that way.

As for slim necked P's I had a 69 that had an A neck, which was narrower than the 1 5/8". I miss that one. Still have a 75 P and love it. The Sadowsky goes to all the gigs. Jazz basses have far more versatility. It's proven.

Two weeks without food would turn any vegan into a steak-
eating carnivore.

Troll much? LOL!

IF there are more Jazz basses for sale, mightn't that indicate more HAVE BEEN SOLD? Just a thought.

....relative percentage vs raw numbers....right-o....

seems unknowable....

That's like asking if blondes are better than redheads, or scotch is better than ale, or if Rock is better than jazz, or...well, you get the idea.

Do asians count as brunettes? What about black girls?

Wait... by the OP's theory... maybe you see so few redheads because they're better than blondes and brunettes.

That's gotta be it – I just established scientific proof for my infatuation! Thanks, OP!

Generally, no.

They could have all been murdered

 

[topo morto]

Generally, no.

So if I ask 'blonde, brunette or redahead' that implies the person would only choose white girls?

Blonde, brunette or red head implies white girls. We're totally off topic, PM me if you want to talk nuances.

Your eyes are full of hate, forty-two. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength.

Update
I was trying to stir up a conversation about the used market. Don't see the value of the condemning comments. I really don't give a dam what you trolling bass nerd types have to say. Please stay in your closets picking your exotic world class bass guitars and leave us working class Fender players alone.

And stir you did by asking if this Proves that P is better than J

That was the troll

I wish there was a used redhead store someplace close by....

Check the Craig's List Human Trafficking classifieds

And there are a lot more Ford's on the road than Maserati's.
I guess that proves that Ford's are better.

 

[topo morto]

And there are a lot more Fords on the road than Maserati's.
I guess that proves that Fords are better.

How come you can form the plural of 'Ford' properly, but not 'Maserati' ?

I'm not trying to be an as's's's's's. It just comes effortles'sly.

Ok maybe I was misunderstood here.

This is my point:
If there are a lot more J basses than P's on the used market, what does this say about these 2 mainstream basses. Why do so many trade in their J basses? What is it they don't like. Is the build quality different? Or is it that it has design flaws? Or is it that 3 times as many are sold? I dabble in bass collecting / flipping etc...
I love my J and my P bass. The P bass seems to be my favorite though and I never see any good ones on the used market around here but J basses are a dime a dozen.

No offense meant by my earlier sarcastic remark.
haha
