which one would you choose...

well someone finally noticed! well, i think i’ll let you in on a little secret. this whole ordeal is simply me trying to decide what road my parts bass journey will go, but that’s only because i’m anticipating some work (a job!!!) this year, which basically means MONEYI'm surprised no one else has commented on this already, you've made three different posts about how terrible your current bass is set up: eroding nut, 30 year old strings etc. I'd fix these issues and have a decent set up done and you may have a real player on your hands. Then your choice would be easy- get the jazz and now you have both
. this isn’t very urgent, basically is what i’m saying. i have a warmoth jazz just about here now, my father decided to get me one as a “real bass”, and i’m expecting to start a build up of a 60s style bass sometime in the beginning summer using my own dough. and this p bass i’m using isn’t even mine, my step dad is just letting me use it because it’s been in his basement for decades. i’m actually probably going to give it back to him by early february when the jazz shows up.

Don’t be blinded by bling! Lol! Buy the Precision.
Well,
since your question is "Which one do I like better", which implies to me which one is more aesthetically pleasing,
I vote "J".
But until I play both of those particular basses, I can`t really go beyond that.

- I suck, but nobody really notices
The jazz, cause I can't possibly ever find a P that's as good as mine, but there's a lot of things I could do to a jazz.
Mr. @JRA , ya seem to be missing one of the most important tenets of the human species...
yep!
For no specific reason, but you asked, If it was MY choice; P bass but tomorrow could be the J.GL
If you don't already have a Fender P-Bass, then go for that first, cuz every Bass Player needs a Fender P-Bass.
I'm referring to MIA, of course.

Hmm. My choice/vote/preference likely means nothing, as it's biased to my situation. I have a jazz-style bass, so if it were ME, the P.

I feel the same way about my P. I have an MIA P-Bass that has that lots of low end and lots of high end sound, like Steve Harris. I could never part with it. I got lucky that it sounds so good. My daughter has the exact same Bass, just a different colour and it sounds totally different. As Geddy Lee says, no Bass sounds the same...
Awesome Basses! I have a Squier Classic Vibe P that looks like that black one. Aren't those black Fender ones like yours Made In Japan?
you gotta get a sunburst and tort pickguard p!!!! it would round out that collection very nicely.
Would that be with a Maple or Rosewood board? I have a 3-Colour Sunburst Player P with a white pickguard and Maple board. It looks amazing.
The only right decision is to have Both! Too tough of a choice to only have one! If I had to sell all of my basses...the first thing I would buy would be a passive P & J. which is really all what most people need.
But if you can only swing one right one , I voted for the Jazz! More versatile

Thx! All of mine are FrankenFenders... the black one is actually a MIJ Geddy Lee J neck- which I rebadged with a P waterslide
