steve-bbb Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) [b]P or J or nowt?[/b] for the purposes of this vote we shall assume stock items no sandbergs sadowskys or other gorgeous bespoke or boutique imitators thank you edit - for what my crappy ill informed opinions are worth im fully expecting this to end as a very near 50-50 split and if it deviates more than 55-45 i would be very surprised late late edit - assume that electricity is provided and there is one of every conceivable bass rig widely available to choose from so i guess the rigs you dont use you could fashion into a giant raft or treehouse or something Edited September 20, 2012 by steve-bbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-bbb Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) [quote name='charic' timestamp='1348139403' post='1809792'] J basses are too skinny necked so P for me [/quote] i always used to look at them and think to myself 'that neck looks far too skinny it'll never play comfortably for me' but here i am 20 year later <3-ing my J and i find it quite comfortable - i find the bridge spacing more of a playability issue than the nut spacing and iirc the bridge spacing on P and J is the same - ed - fwiw i dont dislike either i rather like both immensely but the J has the edge for me Edited September 20, 2012 by steve-bbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Jazz Bass. More specifically.....My Jazz Bass. Although I'd have no problem with a Precision either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thing about desert islands is there's nobdy there , so it'd be a Precision wothout doubt. If it was a funny desert island , though , where I was playing gigs in different bands - all playing different types of music - where versatility took priority over personal taste - I'd have a Jazz.

Silvia Bluejay Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I'm ofFendered that there's no other choice. I would not want to go without a bass, then again, as someone suggested, taking your significant other would probably be an even better choice PS I did [b]not[/b] vote!

Coilte Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not really much use having either, as on a desert island there is nowhere to plug them in. So, I vote for a semi acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
