question on basses

I have been playing the bass for 8 years or more and I have always played traben or schecter. My question is what's the big difference between a jazz bass and a p bass? I play hard rock to some metal. Would either one be a good addition to have? I know this is kinda a stupid question and as a bassist I should know the answer but honestly I just never really Spayed much attention.
