Hey Woks thought it would help new kit builders to decide which kit to build. Hope your well buddy
I initially listened to it on my iPhone speaker and they both sounded the same. Now listened through proper speakers and there's a pronounced difference. It's all in the low end.
Though he's not really using a standard amp EQ set-up which is heavily influencing the basic sound.
P Bass sound was also influenced by having flat wounds compared to round wounds on the J Bass making it sound much brighter.
Tend to agree that the best way to deal with the topic/argument is to own one of each. Never been a complete fan of P Bass only as they can be a bit one dimensional but really loved some of the PJ combinations I had during early 1980's.

I've owned p j and PJ. I'd rather have my Stingray 5. J for second choice.
Edit: just sold my P. And bought a J..

Always been intrigued with Stingrays but never owned or played one.
For me it's my Ric 4003 then J Bass followed by the EX-5 with it's split coiled humbuckers. A proper Steinberger and a Stingray would be nice to complete the dream team collection.

#Planning 5 String Bass
Hey KB, I'm well thanks (got a RDO todaz so a nice 3 day weekend - lots of time in the man cave as its raining in February !), I have got a PBH-4 and PB-4 and just ordered a JBA-4, picking it up today from Ads, I had to complete the F type bass collection !
I am now interested in a MMB-4 build !
@ Simon and Waz well picked up he isn't really comparing apples with apples with the different type of strings and amp settings.
