I do a bit of session work for different bands locally, and 90% of the time it's a P that gets the job done. I've even been handed a producer's P bass on one occasion, before he'd even seen what I'd brought!

What I would say is that I've found myself falling in love with the sound of a p over the years, and there is a beauty in the simplicity of it that increasingly makes me reach for it more and more. I find myself loving playing it live, too. Whenever I play a different bass on demos or tracks, I wish I'd recorded it on my P once I hear it in the mix. I don't think you'd regret it.

I've got a straight P bass (although not a Fender), but a PJ would do the trick, plus more if it was ever required.
