It all depends on what kind of player you are. I have played both P and J-basses and i prefer the P-bass. It is great for classic rock and early heavy metal like Black Sabbath. The Jazz bass gets more tone variations while the precision only has a master volume and master tone. You also must not forget that the p-bass is cheaper than the j-bass, for what reasons, i don't know. I also have to mention that the p-bass has a thicker more comfortable neck. I have played bass for over 25 years and i prefer a thicker neck over the skinny ones. The very last thing is that the p-bass is much lighter than the j-bass. So if you are looking for a lighter more comfortable bass with low tone variations with the sound and drive needed for classic rock 'n' roll at a cheap price than the Fender Precision Bass is the bass for you.

Here is a small list of notable p-bass players.

(John Paul Jones, Geezer Butler, Nate Mendel, John Deacan, John Entwistle, Jet Harris, Phil Lynott, and Dee Dee Romone)

No, there is no such thing. The first Fender Jazz bass came with two pickups and that formula has been maintained to this day. The only "Jazz Bass" with one pickups is the Fender Mark Hoppus signature Jazz Bass, which comes with a single Precision Bass pickups. That particular bass sounds nothing like a standard Jazz Bass.
