Definitely.. in my younger years I played only EB Stingray basses and thought they were perfect for rock
I recall a visit to Ashdown and they had an old PBass laying around to use through their amps and I hated it mostly due to the weak ( in comparison) pickup
Returning to bass a few years back I purchased a Fender PBass as I couldn’t afford the EB stingray
I’m still tempted to go for the Sterling Ray34 which has a closer neck to a PBass but they are circa £1K new
