Easy choice...whichever bass is in the studio rack...

Both. Every song i record..for the song.. see what lays right ..its surprising at times. The J is an extremely fast neck.. notice an urgency in the mid punch in a jazz & a steady thump/deep in the P..love em both..

if i had my choice..would def play bass in a band. oh the things you can do to hold yer guitar player up & make him shine...

also -- the
P/J bass exists -- covering rather well BOTH tones---
Here you see the PEavey Unity Dyna Bass......
neck through construction -- usa made -- and -- simply a pleasure to fondle

The answer is very is. One should have a P-bass, a J-bass, and a PJ-bass

But, if I had to pick one bass it'd be a Gibson bass, probably one of the EB line.

 

[eSGEe]

how about an EBO-"P" BUWAHAHAHAHAAHAH

 

[eSGEe]

Fretless even.................its a GAS GAS GAS BABY

1962 EBO with many "mods" from previous owners .....and me -----

I loaned my Thunderbird bass to my granddaughter and I'm missing having a bass. I've been using a midi keyboard for bass lines for recording but it just doesn't sound right. I've been thinking of getting a Squier Affinity PJ. I'm not a bass player. It would just be for adding a simple bass line to recorded songs. Any thoughts?

I can wholeheartedly recommend one of these little basses....

A very flexible bass....it does passive or active, P standard, P bridge, and the two together have a weird”almost” J vibe.
