Jul 20, 2004 · Have been using active 5 strings for years now but just for fun last night at practice I pulled out my old 4 string Squire Jazz bass, played a few songs and everyone (including myself) was floored by the tone. It sounded very beefy and 70's through my 400+. It amazed me that a 200.00 bass blew away the tone of my other more expensive basses.

So Which Fender P-Bass Was/Is The Best? - TalkBass.com
Dec 13, 2013 · And, probably the most balanced-sounding instrument regarding lows, mids and highs I've heard. When I try out a bass in a store, hear one in a band or practice by myself, this is the sound I compare all basses to.

What's the best P/J bass? - TalkBass.com
May 3, 2021 · The pickup blend is my favorite tone on the BB2000. It is very open and sweet sounding with a nice growl to it. Very warm and organic if you will.

It's a bit more pinched and nasal sounding.
