Question about J-Basses

[theavondon]

Damn, I hope you've got a lot of money. Bongos and PJB amps are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally pricey.

If you want more output, and no noise, but DON'T wanna go active AND want a J bass, here is what you need my friend.. Blacktop Jazz..

Is it really a J if it has P pickups, though?
Isn't that like a Tele with humbuckers and a Strat bridge?

You mean, a Blacktop Tele?

If you are looking for active, I would go with a G&L L2000.

You can cop pretty much any tone out of those MFD pickups, from passive P bass or Jazz to Stingray/ATK active bite. Them MFD's are ballsy as fuck.

I found a pretty good deal on a Bongo-4...but the PJB is just a dream, really...how much are they, usually?

[theavondon]

Eh, a bit much. For a while, I wanted one of those briefcases for DB performances, thinking that it would be perfect (which it totally was). I looked up the price...well...http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Phil-Jones-Brie ... 48413db7b2
