It runs in cycles.
Back in the 60's &70's there were more Precision players.
The 80's 90's saw a swing to the Jazz Bass.
Now it seems more player are going over to the Precision again. (But not by much)
Both are iconic basses. |

Though electronics-wise, my bass is nowhere near a stock P anymore. I just like the neck.

that said: J bass for me. Why for? two reasons: I prefer the thinner neck, and I like having two pickups.

To me they're more a "do everything" instrument plus I've got small hands so I like the skinny neck |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2009 Location: Houston, TX | | | Definitely both, they're everywhere and can be found for so cheap that it only makes sense to have at least one of each.
However, if I could only have one, I'd definitely keep my Jazz. The neck is perfection (for me), and the pickups offer more tonal variety.

I have a MIJ Precision Lyte and a MIA Fender Bullet P (they all have SD quarter pounders) that I use way more regularly. Been using the Bullet for the past 3 months exclusively as a matter of fact.

|  | It's all in the reflexes. | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: MA | | | All of the bases I own are jazz style (2 pickups, skinny neck) (well, except with the G&L, that's more of a P neck).
I do play a precision too, but I think I prefer jazz basses overall
