Hey all :D

New in the music and full of questions. For example: what's the big difference between the Fender presision bass and the Jazz-bass. How do the "sounds" compare? Which bass is more used in rock, blues, jazz, punk,...?
Does the new S-1 switching system make them more "alike"?

Regards

Precision bass and Jazz bass are different in two distinct ways. One is the style of pickups they use. I alternate between my Mike Dirnt P-bass and a Geddy Lee Jazz, and the biggest difference is tone. My P-bass I use for up beat songs (Rock, Metal, and your Punk), However, when I need a slightly deeper tone I use the Jazz. Its two pickups allow you to pickup either the high end or low end of the note, or both. I use them it for softer songs. Another difference, at least between the two I use, is the Neck width and action. The Mike dirnt's neck is slightly more chunky, while the Geddy Lee neck is ridiculously skinny. However, the Geddy Lee's action is also incredibly low, no matter how high I adjust it. So even if I wanted to play upbeat songs with it, the buzzing it makes when played hard from the frets make an obnoxious sound. Man I wish I could order a Geddy Neck for My Mike Dirnt.

Thx for the reply.

I like the fact that you can compare 'causs you have them both.
I appreciate it!
