@Barney

That is the wrong answer in 2026.

Wrong answer anytime

sorry gentlemen, but you are both incorrect, skinny steel singlespeeds will always be waaaaay cooler than full bouncers with too many gears, busy busy busy……

clean lines, no choices, just keep pedalling and get lost in the scenery and your thoughts rather than which gear should i be in, what compression setting etc etc etc

anyways, we digress…..

@blair

That said the simplicity of one volume, one tone has a lot going for it, much less fiddling.

i agree, as per my bikes

@John_E

Find a used Squier CV or VM P-bass (not Affinity series).

i’ll have a search, see if theres anything nearby, thank you

@Krescht

Sire Marcus Miller P5 4-String Bass Guitar in Metallic Gold - Andertons Music Co.

yes that metallic gold colour looks good. dont particularly like the black guard but i could find something more suitable for me, and the P5 and P5R have been on my radar just awaiting a suitable colour, thank you

@Al1885

There’s a difference between Precision and PJ not only tone but physical difference.

Most PJs of many brands and model comes with the Jazz neck profile.

this is something i hadnt considered actually. i have fairly small hands and have only had PJs with the thinner nut, i really need to get hands on a regular sized one to try out first.

thanks all
