Nice video! But the rosewood vs the maple fretboard makes a really big difference to the sound as well.
Would this gauge size fit a squire classic vibes 50 bass?
Thanks for run through
I’m a professional bassist, 40 years of experience. I hear very little difference. If it feels better under your fingers and you spend a lot of time on the bass it may be worth the trouble to change it. Otherwise save yourself the trouble and money.
Fantastic demo! Do you recall what knob settings you used on your jazz bass here? Series/parallel? (as other vid?)
Thanks! If I'm not mistaken, it was everything on standard setting, so parallel, both pickups all the way up, no tone control
First it's great video The sjb3 definitely they are better ..
Excellent test !
Are the DeM DP 122 ??
The seymores def fuller👍
Series👍
Are you Dracula?🤷♂️
I like the stockies so much more. The Apollos sound awesome, they're just not to taste/requirements on a personal level. In someone else's hands? I'm all for it.
Dimarzio.
I just put a set of these in a fretless bass I’m going to guitar center and picking up an ampeg amp. They have a 100 watt amp for 350
This is the comparison I needed. But it only made the decision harder 😢
My American 5 string jazz has string through body design. Does hipshot make a bridge that accommodates this?
These 62 Custom are great! Now do i buy the Harris spb4, or the spb Quarter pounds or the 62 Customs? Ugh
That Duncan just has better tone. There's something else nice that's there.
the PJ deliveres more bass and more midrange on E and A String than the J Bass. Good for Rock. And the other split coil is closer to the bridge so that D and G String sound brighter than the J. More like the crispy Stingray Pop String Sound. But if you want to do some Slapping on G or D String you have the same issue as on Stingray. It misses mid and bass and so is too quiet compared to the massive E and A String. Also if you play a lot of melodie and scales over 4 Strings then it aounds a bit too fat on E String compared to thin sounding G String. So- In my opinion the PJ is less versatile than all people always say. It is the opposite. There are some limitations that don´t show up with the P or the J Bass. If somebody needs fat sound than go for the P Bass with it´s Serial wiring. The PJ has a parallel wiring for the P and the J Bridge and so it gets a more open sound. The density of the P is lost and missed on the D and G String to deliver enough bass. That´s why the reverse PJ was born. -> See Sandberg VT or Sadowsky PJ, Jackson PJ, Warwick Streamer Stage I.
I liked that tone at the end of the Thumpy Funk
I wonder if the difference between this and the original VT Is the bite, Phantom and db 🤔. I regret getting rid of my original VT pedal but I think the drive was messed up
i got my tech 21 and i have a cheap fender rumble 40. it doesnt sound even close when it comes to the tone. clank is very disorted etc. i dont know why mine sounds so dull
@@jedrusnowak3317 what else are you using? Bass, strings?
@@OliverTobyn fender precision Steve flats. Tech 21 low action. Cheap fender rumble Amp. Problem is that when i attack strings they Clank but the Clank is very boomy. Also guitar doesnt have a good tone
I prefer the Jazz bass, but I can see how the PJ Bass works better in a mix.
Very nice video thanks
I liked the hipshit kickass bridge the best, and the fender high mass a close second.
can we put this string instead of rotosound sh77 on signature fender p bass?
Yeah, sure, you can try but you need to tweak the highs differently as these ones have more "zing"
Is yours a fender p bass signature or a regular one?
Signature
I like PJ best when the P pickup is installed reverse. Then the sound is the most balanced. It's a mystery to me why Fender hasn't made this correction to the original design during all these years they make P basses.
Awesome video. Not many going around like this. I just ordered a set. Can't wait to pop these into my fender deluxe.
your recording sounds GREAT. That is so valuable and - apparently - so hard to get right. thank you
i don't get it... why do they sound duller with the tone going up?
What is your audio interface?
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
Originals sound clearer and brighter to me.
are those pickups single coil or stacked coil?
They should be both split coils, like a Precision bass pickup, just in line to fit a Jazz bass shape
I'm thinking about just getting a piece of 1/4" steel, drilling even spaced holes in it and using to add mass to the bridge. I'll do that at my next string change.
You will definitely need to shim the neck in that case 🤣
I got the Ultra Jazz in my ‘78 Jazz Bass … I like how it cuts through clearly.
Seymour Duncan tiene un sonido más cercano a los P-Bass viejos, más gamberro!
OK, you know what? I think I’ve come to a conclusion And after very, very careful listening, in my vehicle with very loud speakers. I’ve come to the conclusion that yes. Though, They are very, very similar….Very similar but yet, they’re not exactly the same. Therefore, I feel that A Bass Player really needs one of each. A P bass, A J bass and a PJ bass. Ok, I will sleep good tonight. 😂
Hello there. I really enjoyed this video but I’m still a bit in the fence. Please, please, PLEASE in your honest opinion…if you ONLY have one Bass and it’s a PJ Bass. Do you REALLY still need an actual P bass? Or REALLY need a j bass. If I’m honest. I’m finding myself thinking that I still need an actual one of each. J Bass, P Bass, n PJ Bass
In my honest opinion, if you have a PJ you don't need a P bass. You might need a Jazz bass if you're looking for that snappier sound.
how low are your strings? they seem very low. when i have low strings the clank isnt that subtle... just loud
As low as they can possibly get and still be playable. When you start hearing buzzing on the first frets that's when it's too much
@@OliverTobyn on first frets from pickup? Or first from head? When i lower my strings to the point they are barely over frets then i dont have such nice little Clank Like u. I have a weird farty Clank. And its always breaking through when im recording. Its not Like a subtle thing you hear but a major thing
@@jedrusnowak3317 both, first you adjust the truss rod so that you go as low as you possibly can. If the first frets (from the headstock) start buzzing then it's too low. Then you lower from the bridge, again, if you start hearing fret buzz you're too low. If you're using round wound strings they will definitely buzz way more
@@OliverTobyn i use flats. so rod has to be perfectly straight? also how to make clank sound good? mine sound awfull
This is a very intelligent Video...sometimes little changes in small components can save big money in searching for new bass, just get the best from what you get ... very well done mate.
the di marzio's seem a bit close, do you think thats gonna effect fast playing?
Those split P are a mudbucker, so dark and sludgy, in parallel mode get some clarity but still I would use them as mudbuckers for that deep thumpy woofer sound with flats or something
Nice job, I like them all, I could see having a base with the v and another with the A’s I gravitate to the higher output, but those vintage sounded good
The sound difference is so miniscule as to be completely moot.
too hi mids...maybe it's also the mic placement too on the center.
