The J bass hasn't had a moment in a long time. Tame Impala uses one but syke their most famous bass riff was played on guitar and transposed an octave down. He also uses a short scale bass so unclear what impact the J bass has. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791082&forum_id=2#49383740)

I think the “versatility” is exaggerated or maybe just surpassed with active basses with multi band EQs. Also used to be the benefit was the thin, fast neck. But basically every bass has a thin neck now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791082&forum_id=2#49383762)

Date: October 29th, 2025 11:13 AM Author: Mr. Shalom It took me two weeks but I finally finished setting up my p bass soup to nuts. It plays like a dream now. There was so much wrong with it from the Ensenada factory. They did a real rush job. I had to do everything. File the nut, truss rod adjustment, intonation, saddles. Even the pickups I had to cut some of the foam from the bottom because they were jacked up way too high. I did everything myself and now the action is super low and butter smooth with no buzzing. Have to play with an ultra light touch no digging into the strings. Honestly plays like butter now. I was skeptical of the SD quarter pound pickups but they sound pretty good. I had em before on a different bass and thought they sounded horrible but these sound fine. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791082&forum_id=2#49384551)
