i own a Squier Jazz Bass Standard, and thinking about moving to a better Fender American Standard Precision Bass. i like the fatter sound of the P-bass if i am plucking, but i like the more percussive sound of the J-bass if i'm slapping (or at least "trying to slap" cuz i'm still a beginner...hah). Will the P-bass hold up for slapping too?
