I think it’s a bit of an unfair comparison with the different tone knob settings Some people getting started with bass may not know what a tone knob is, so they may just assume that those two basses can only get those sounds

Closer to the bridge pickup gives you the more pointed, edgier sound, right? I’m a sax player, but I’ve been watching and listening to bass players for a long while.

The Precision bass is unmatched!🤘🏻✨

I’ve got a jazz bass and I’ve used it for 54years it’s an amazing bass gorgeous sound I just love fender guitars the best.🎸

You’ve cut the high frequencies on the second one.

Jazz bass with both pickups is absolute peak

I love how you making those noises perfectly describes the sounds of both instruments 😂

That was not a fair comparison, the J was using the bridge pickup and open tone while the P was using (as it couldn't be different) the middle/neck (whatever you prefer to call it) pickup and closed tone

I always wonder why producers choose pbass more often than J. I belive it is because the "bass profile" from a P is less jumpy due to the offset neck pickup. Thats why I play a pj, cause you get the nice brightness from the bridge J, with the added bass stability from the P.

@HickiesMusicStore

Yeah that bridge pickup is essential for ANYTHING jaco right!?

@exitse7en

One of the primary reasons is that j basses typically have single coil pickups and p basses have split coil. This makes j basses have a bunch of hum between notes, whereas o basses are relatively silent. Other than that, if the pickups are in a similar location they can sound extremely similar. Oh, one is usually a few millimeters wider on the neck than the other as well, but I can't remember which at the moment.

@neptvnebeatschannel

Plus humbuckers have more output which is great mixing wise

My favorite sound is a only neck pick up and like 9 on the tone knob, then play it almost over fret board....it's like a the best of a p and j

P bass with flatwound strings and a foam mute at the bridge is what I call The Bass. Fits with nearly all genres and styles.

Slight issue comes from the fact that you can make a jazz bass sound like a pbass. But you can’t do it the other way around. If you have a PJ, even better.

Let’s say 1 pickup basses have 3 sounds: tone off, tone 50% and tone 100%. That means the Jazz Bass has 9 sounds, but even 10+ minute comparisons still reduce it to HONK, they just call it ‘the Jaco sound’.

Having owned both, I MUCH prefer the sound and feel of a P Bass.

Get a PJ bass. So a P-bass with a Jazz rear single coil. Now use both pickups, and dial the front P-pickup back just a slight amount. You’ll hear it.

Hi David! Heres a squier precision doing its best to be dynamic for you kzread.info/dash/bejne/amdrvNh6otvAZLA.html

If you believe this Dude...your crazy...It all depends on how the bass & Amp settings are adjusted.

Tbh the difference sounds more like an EQ thing if anything.

You can make either of those sound those ways

tbh, really informative

OK but you have zero treble in your P bass, making the comparison not so great

This guy is Benny blanco if benny blanco played bass

I m drawn to PBass tones, probably because I Like James Jamerson

I like P bass and change the treble on the amp, but Jazz Bass is awesome too! But i prefer the simplicity. Minimalism hahaha

That p bass has a beautiful appearance and tone for only being 389GBP. I want it for that price. Is it really a squier?

Played in different locations relative to the bridge, so hard to say. Of course it will sound brighter nearer to the bridge.

Jazz bass goes thump if you use the neck pickup. 😀

I have a J and a P. They’re both right for that specific sound and gig. I prefer the mid thump of the P. You can always EQ out a bit of the mid in a My influence is James Jamerson, soul and blues.

I have a Squier 5 string that says Precision on the headstock, but has jazz pickups. What's the deal with this? Anybody know? I got it new from a shop, so it's not like someone swapped the neck.

More neck on the Jazz and some treble on the P.....

Oh I’m definitely a Precision Bass guy! Got a jazz and for me it’s simple if Im not going to use both volume knobs at maximum why bother? Noting is more simple then a Precision One volume One tone Voila!!

The jazz is smooth, slippery and sly. The p bass is a brick thudding into mud.

you can make either sound like either

I’ve found that on a jazz bass if you turn the neck pickup to 90%, the bridge pickup to 0, and roll the tone off it sounds like a P bass.

That’s how you get the reggae sound ;)

(From a guitar player, who plays bass on the side's perspective) Jazz bass is if you took the bright tones of a fender stratocaster and put it on to a bass, and the P bass has the more creamy tones of a Les Paul or a ES-335 and put it on a bass.

I like the sound of both, but every time I see a bass, I always want to try and match the tone/sound of Peter Steele (lead singer and bassist of the band Type O Negative)

It's not an illusion. Jazz basses tend to have a broader, albeit sleeker and more contoured body which belies that they're a bit heavier.

I have 2 Jazz basses. I dull my tone by turning the tone knob back about a 1/4 turn. I'd trade them both for one good P bass 😂

Anyone else notice he plays the P bass when he says Jazz bass and plays the Jazz bass when he says P bass

Idk if he did it on purpose but the white bass he called jazz is actually a Pbass. The jazz bass is the second one with black inlays. It the playing styles that are different.

It's amazing how clean the tones, how did you get them to sound like that? I play at home and there's always buzzing.

But the buzzing gets reduced by a lot when I turn the neck pickup all the way up and the tone for that all the way down. It's also the same thing but the other way around with 100% neck pickup tone and 0% bridge pickup tone.
