Precision is a Chevy, Jazz is a Ferrari

As long as it's not a K car.....

So if you own a jazz you're a douchebag?

 

[Gorn]

And spontaneously catch fire if you look at them wrong?

I live in Queens New York and the roads are made of some kind of material that falls apart in big sharp chunks if you look at it wrong. I see a Ferrari or Lamborghini several times a week, driving five miles an hour to avoid what I’m guessing is thousands of dollars of body shop work for every dent. I don’t see the point.

I always considered P basses more reliable than that

I lived in LIC for a bit.

The P kicks harder. I have both, but if I want to see some jiggle out on the dance floor, I bring the P.

"The Jazz’s neck pickup contributed the sort of warmth and fullness typical of a Precision. Its secret weapon, however, was its bridge pickup, which produced a guttural midrange growl and a clear, trebly high end new at the time to the Fender bass sound."

In other words, they're saying a Jazz can be a precision, but a precision can't be a Jazz. Right?

Alembic is Ferrari.

Wal is Lamborghini.

Rickenbacker is TVR.

Batman could beat up Superman, or not.

Both my Basses are classic Cadillac's!

Nice! Tell me about that black neck.

"The Precision made a great sound, but it made one great sound."

Zero versatility.

I want a killer sound, not versatility. If you don’t like Precisions, that’s well enough, but doing one thing very well doesn’t make it a zero bass.

It's a form of wealth redistribution, fuelled by too much money and too few brains. I bet the mechanics love these people.

I skipped the four-wheelie-dealie, and got me a flyin' saucer bass geetar.

"The Precision made a great sound, but it made one great sound."

Zero versatility.

Only if you don't know how to drive.

Leo Fender himself said so.

"By the end of the 1950s though it was time to expand the Fender bass category and Leo Fender and his staff turned their attention to a new “deluxe” bass guitar design in 1959. And just as the Stratocaster expanded on the Telecaster rather than supplanting it, this new bass would complement the Precision by offering great tonal versatility and a design that went beyond the utilitarian to the realm of the sleekly stylish. If the Precision was a Chevy, the new deluxe model would be a Ferrari."

the p-bass is the 2 door version and the jazz bass is the 4 door version

Precision is a Ford F-150
Jazz is a Plymouth fury station wagon

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’ll play.

It seems to me in terms of modern day vehicles, the Jazz would be the Honda Civic, while the Precision would be the Honda CRV. Why? Well, the Civic has dozens of third party “upgrades” that are highly popular, while the CRV just gets used as-is to haul the family business around.

I favor Jazz Basses, but do my hauling to the gig with a CRV.

Chevy and Ford.
Talk about Ferrari or Maserati and you're talking about a Stingray or an L2000.

The P bass is like the eldest son, with all the blessings and fortune, the jazz bass is kinda like the red headed stepchild. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

they're all VWs!
