Jazz Superior to a Precision in Every Way?

What...are you trying to start a war??

Precision bass,
Plays well, never off tune
Unlike a tuba

Moby dick greatest intro ever!

You mean book or song?

I voted carrots cause I'm a "to each their own" kind a guy... but, after playing both for decades, I gotta say Precisions rule. I'll my favorite pros use Precisions from Chris Wood and Rob Mercerio to a Nameless Ghoul.

Carrots are really tasty vegetables.

I don't know much but I still remember P-Basses and Jazz Basses hanging up on walls of Mom and Pop Shops in the late 60's and early 70's. The Jazz Basses were always the fancier, prettier, and more expensive Bass than the P bass. There must have been some reason for this other than marketing. P basses are no muss no fuss and sound people don't have to do much to make them sound good in a mix. Just my purely subjective opinion. I'll take a JB over a P-Bass any day of the week. There is clearly a separation of choice of instrument by the type of player and type of music played on this forum. I hardly ever play Rock. I play Funk, R&B and Smooth Jazz. And in this realm the Jazz has clearly beaten the P and there is a reason for this. It's based on the types of tones that are preferred for each genre. Again in my very subjective opinion the JB has a superior slap tone to the P-Bass., And when the rear pup is used more a very punchy, middy, fingerstyle that cuts can be obtained. Lastly some awesome JB's just growl and sound nasty. Remember folks I just said this is my opinion. I m sure someone else can say the same for their beloved P-Bass. It's just not my thang.

I feel ya. I have examples of each. But I gotta say, my two G&L SB-1's really turned my head around. Not your grandpa's P bass.

Versatile in that it can sound like anything but a P bass? Sure.
