Who else prefers a P-neck to a J-neck?

I don't really get it. I feel like if you have proper technique and aren't baseball gripping the thing than it shouldn't matter if you have big hands.. Lots of people with big hands play a guitar neck and it is way smaller than a jazz.

Actually, the 1.5" jazz nut width is narrow than most guitars.

You all do know that Fender has narrowed the P-bass neck this year... Right? It's no longer 1.75" - it's the same width as a Lakland - 1.625 (or thereabouts).

P-bass necks have been that width for a while now.
