Precision vs Jazz

[Akami]

I was thinking Blang! or Blung!

I feel inclined to agree and actually, I believe it capable of both!

 

[maxbass]

I own a Precision, but I prefer the Jazz!

Strange?

Not so, if you consider that my main is a Thumb and I still have to find a J+J bass that sounds better.

Does that mean that a Sadowsky goes... Bling! ?

I like Jazzes better. They have a wider tone range.
I do like the newer P-bass deluxe though, the one with a humbucker near the bridge.

edit--These. These are freakin sweet.

I just picked up a Deluxe P-Bass (Mexican made) with the additional Jazz bridge pick up and Jazz neck. So far, I am really happy with the tone and the range.

They are totally killer basses.

It's funny how the JB is the Fender of choice these days . Before Joco it was always the PB that ruled the world. The only thing that changed was a virtouso bassist, who played the JB.

Oh by the way the Precision bass is a much better instrument for any type of music.

Dude, that's Jaco not Joco. You should know that. It's like an American that can't spell George Washington. Shame on you.

Fact is that Marcus Miller, Getty Lee, John Paul Jones, Larry Graham, Noel Reading and many, many others all had their part in popularizing the Jazz Bass. Although, P bass had a huge part in popular music in the 60's and 70's, we all heard Carol Kaye on everything from the Beach Boys to Barney Miller, the Jazz bass made it's mark as the choice of many of my favorite bassists of the period. In fact, as a group, these bassists the were very influential to me and most of the bass community.

As far as your statement that P bass is much better for any type of music. Rediculious. The decision is made soley by the bassist playing the music. IMO of coarse!

And it's ridiculous, not rediculious. If you're going to take someone to task for his spelling in the first sentences of your post...

"Course", not "coarse".

And "its", not "it's".

Just covering the bases...

Touché has un accent aigu.

*sigh* 7 years on and everyone is still correcting each other.

That's the internet for you.

I prefer a jazz bass, if you take the pickups and electronics and swap them for MECs, then replace the body and neck with those from a Warwick Corvette Standard. That's some jazz bass goodness right there.
