Don't let the hand size bit fool you! I have tiny hands, and for years swore I would only play a Jazz bass. Once I bought my Am Std Precision though, I realized that it is more comfortable to play rock music on (especially live) it offers a little more wiggle room for your picking hand while running and jumping around. I think it's more comfortable to chord on, to slap on... pretty much everything.

I also prefer the tone of a P. To me it's perfect for EVERYTHING. Granted I don't play Jazz solo stuff like Jaco, but you could still pull that off on a P with eq. That said, for a lot of the worship stuff I do, the Jazz sound of the bridge pickup is key. I'm up against at LEAST 2 electric guitars, one acoustic guitar, one keyboard, 3 vocals, drums, and tracked parts (synths and other oddities). In the massive room I'm in I use almost all bridge pup and only blend in the neck to get the desired amount of fattness that I want.

My vote is obvious... PJ

I hate the jazz neck. That being said, I have giant hands and playing a jazz neck gives me cramps. My daily driver is a 6 string custom and I can play it as if it was a 4 string. Tone-wise? The best bass tone you can get out of either of these pick-ups is a PJ set with an active switch and multi-band EQ. But of course, that's pretty specific, and might have too many options for a new player. I absolutely love my precision bass, and it has, in my opinion, a wide variety of tones with just one tone knob. I'll put it this way- if you want to play one note at a time, or have EXCESSIVELY small hands, get a jazzer. But if you want to do anything with chords (which happens a lot in rock and metal), like the growl-y sound you get when you use a pick, or have moderate to large hands, get a P bass. A lot of people will dispute me on this, particularly Jaco die-hards, but this is what I've learned from my experiences.

I hope you find your whale, and I can't help but 'like' your OP.
