El Toro has a preamp and twice as many pole pieces. You should buy this one and see the difference for yourself! Touted by many (myself included) as the best Fender Jazz out there.

Yeah, what Krustwell said. My first bass was a Jazz and although I love the aesthetics and playability of the things, I never quite achieved the tone I heard in my head ... until I got a 1st gen SB-2.
I have three basses now aside from a Franken-J I put together as a project: a first gen SB-1, the SB-2 and an L-1000. As much as I love the Wunkay, the "no frills" basses have been seeing most of the action lately.
Bump for a bass I'd buy in a heartbeat if money were no object. That thing's in stellar condition to boot. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer looking one.
El Toro also has contours this one does not. I have the '83 SB-2, a '90 SB-2 and an '89 El Toro. If I could keep only one, it would be the '83. The three switch positions all sound great in their own way.

Cool, we have similar tastes in bases. I had those exact 3, although not at the same time. Still have the SB-1 and SB-2 (and a 2nd gen SB-1). I'm an endorser of most things G&L, but these 1st Gen SB-2's are tough to find and tough to beat.
