Precision vs Jazz (If I Could Only Have One…)

Yep! I have one, though it’s a Squier.

There are a whole lot of P-like and PJ models, by various brands, that offer narrower nut widths and thinner neck profiles. For one, I had a Sandberg VS-4 that had a super-thin neck and a 1.5" nut width.

Might as well get a PJ too! :laughing:

I have all 3, i like the Jbass for slap, the pbass for pretty much everything else the vast majority of the time.

Sometimes I play the j or the pj (with flats ) and think “that sounds amazing”; sometimes different is nice… and then i go back to playing my pbass again :slight_smile:

I’ve narrowly avoided buying a 6st bass a couple of times lately… :sweat_smile: I really do “need” a semi-hollow bass though :thinking:

I’ve got a P, two flavors of J, and a PJ, so my next one is going to be a P/MM to cap things off.

I could never get my p bass to work in the band I’m in. It’s highly likely that I was doing something wrong but we just couldnt get it to sit in the mix well.

Then again, that was a few years ago. Im wondering if I tried again now I’ve played more that it’d be better. I mean, tons of bands use the damn things so why can’t I?

I’m talking myself into another p bass aren’t I…

Jazz style for me. Nothing wrong with the Precision, the Jazz just feels better to play in my opinion, and I like it’s tone much more. Mind, I do not own a P, just played a handful in store.

I do have a P/J, and I often play that with just the P pickup, but I’m, guessing some folks wont see that as the same thing (I dont either).

I have a Fender Jazz and a Sire MM P5. Between the two of them, I love playing both equally. However when it comes to learning a song, for some reason I tend to get the hang of it faster on the Jazz. It’s not just the 5 string vs. 4 string thing. I also pick up songs faster on the Jazz compared to my 4 string Spector Dimension.

Something about the Jazz just makes it easy.
