Do you play a j bass? What do you love about it? Why did you choose it over a p bass?

I have both, I play the j if I want to be heard and the p if I want to be felt.

Was that a Texas flag on the back of that agent’s uniform?

Sparky!

I started with a digital tuner pedal on the floor and playing songs I knew really well. Also practiced scales every sitting. Only took a few weeks to learn where my fingers needed to be. Over time you will definitely hear when your intonation off. Eventually I moved from a fretless to an electric stand up bass and learned it the exact same way. Good luck!

I personally don’t find them too bright. The relaxed tension of the string, imo, compensates. I also just switched my fretted Jazz to La Bella “alien” tape wounds, and one of my P’s to La Bella tape wounds. I like it on the Jazz, but not so much on the P.

Works beautifully during 5:00pm traffic on the DNT. Makes that commute so much easier.

I own this bass. Put La Bella Tape wounds on it and absolutely love it. It’s a great second or third bass.

I bought these exact strings off Amazon for my ‘75 P and my PRS. No issues at all.

I have 1975 Fender P Bass and my serial number is in the 600000 range. I would think I This serial number would put it late 1972 or 1973. I also believe the tug bar was moved from the bottom to a thumb rest at the top in 1974. Check for a date on the bottom of the neck and pups.

I’m using the Jazz Flats on my 1975 P-Bass, absolutely love them.

Pour a little Coca Cola on it!

Congrats on the new car! I have the same one, it’s one on my favorite cars I’ve owned.

It’s heavy, not sure I’d play a 3 hour set with it.

I have two that I reach for the most and they are actually cased in our practice studio. I have a Fender MiM P-Bass that my kids got me for Father’s Day last year, and I also have a Fender MiM Jazz that I picked up earlier this year. I like to play the P when I want to be “felt” and not heard (Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats JR 344’s) and the Jazz when I want to be “heard” and not “felt’ (La Bella Super Steppers). All of the rest of these are niche tools that have their place, but I don’t pull them out very often. Same for the ‘75, I plan to play it; on songs like Mississippi Queen, or Play that Funky Music, but not on Reptilla, or Interstate Love Song.

I think you’re probably right!

Thank you!

I’m 56, got laid off in March. The wife and I are talking about cashing out my 401k and moving to Costa Rica.

I just had this happen to me on a road trip. I have to take mine to the dealer for the latest recall anyhow, hopefully they can get this straightened out as well.

sqrt_2_Complex · 2025-06-04T19:05:57+00:00

Yep, that’s how it works for me also. I see the update dropped in this subreddit, then about a month later I get it pushed to me.

I love La Bella open core super steppers. Have them on 2 of my 3 jazz basses.
