    Mind your P's and J's

    Apologies if this has been done to death - I've just discovered why so many rave about the P bass. I had always thought, why have a single pickup when you can have two? 

    Just acquired a Vintage V4 from Bill (Troubadour of this parish), and it sounds glorious. 

    My question, then, is this :- is the fundamental tone of a P bass negatively affected by having a J pickup added? 

    And if not, why are all P's not Pj's?

    I have the fretted 5 string, and it's a real grower. I liked it enough to buy it, obviously, but changed the strings--white nylons, E-C, and it's just got better and better and better. Goes from db to acoustic guitar convincingly, and a real solid presence. I've gigged it, with compliments on the sound, and it's really easy to play. Great neck, too. 

    I'm a fan...
