In the never-ending Jazz Bass vs P Bass debate, many people on the J-side of things like to point out that a "J Bass can sound like a P Bass, but a P Bass can never sound like a J Bass." This got us thinking: Can it really?

Undoubtedly, the Jazz Bass is the more versatile of the two tonally speaking, but how close can it really get to the P Bass sound?

In today's episode of The Stringjoy Show, our resident bass expert Philip Conrad puts this theory to the test.
