Jazz/Precision Bass Issues?
Hey everyone,
I posted a similar question yesterday, however, nothing really is coming of it. I would just like to know whether it would be better for me (a beginner) to get a jazz or precision bass? I'm into the jam band scene, and that's kind of the sound that I'm going for. But, if I should start with a different model, I'd like to know that too. Thanks for the help!

Since no once is giving you a precise answer I'll just give you mine. Precision! I hate the sound of jazz pickups and I'm a jazz bassist. Jazz pickups are so thin sounding. Maybe they give a little more clarity but precision has way better tone and power. precision pickups give you a really nice rumble and very thick sound. You can then adjust the tone of your bass (tone knob) and you can get a ridiculously spiky tone with the tone knob but still maintain the thick sound of the precisions. I don't think that I have ever played a full song with jazz pickups. To me they just sound really bad and produce a lot of noise in the amp. You can try to tweak the controls on the amp but in the end, if you want a nice fat tone, your not gonna fool anyone with jazz pickups.
