In simple terms, jazz bass has a thinner neck and is used more for show with musicians who like to slap and pop the instrument when performing. The precision bass has more of the sound synonymous with soul music from the 1950's and 60's (i.e. Motown sound) and a warmer tune when played.

What is the difference between a Fender P Bass And Fender Precision Bass?
The main difference between a Jazz bass and a Precision bass is in the pickup design. A Jazz bass has a couple of thin, straight that sit perpendicular to the strings. A Precision bass on the other hand traditionally has one or more split-pickups sitting somewhere between the end of the fretboard and the bridge, usually closer to the end of the fretboard. This split pickup design puts the half of the pickup underneath the thicker strings closer to then fretboard and the half under the two thinner strings closer to the bridge, making the low strings sound fatter and the high strings sound brighter. When it comes to the necks of the two basses, the difference is in the feel. Precision basses have thicker necks, usually a little more U shaped. Jazz bass necks are a little more C shaped. I personally feel that Jazz necks are more comfortable, and easier to play at faster speeds, but to each his/her own. Of course with all the different possible combinations available in the making of a bass guitar, it is tough to say what definitively sets the two types of basses apart sonically. One might say that a Jazz bass tends to sound a little mellower than a Precision, but that probably wouldn't be true if the Jazz had a maple fretboard and the Precision was equipped with a rosewood one.

Fender's Jazz and Precision models are the most popular. The Precision is known for its solid, earthy tone, while the Jazz has more "sizzle" for funk and percussive playing. My favourite bass design is the Music Man StingRay. One great bass which I own is the Line 6 Variax Bass 700, a modelling instrument. While its feel is a bit generic, it can emulate the sounds of many other basses such as the Precision and Jazz, the StingRay, the Gibson Thunderbird, the Rickenbacker 4001, the Hofner violin bass (eg. Paul McCartney), Danelectro hollowbody, Alembic Long Scale, Steinberger XL2 (headless), acoustic bass, a standup bass, and even 12-string bass and synth bass.
