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.

Is there a lot of difference in American made fender basses and Mexican made fender basses?

What are opinions on who manufactures the best electric bass guitars?

Also check on Carvin. I have had 2 of their basses and rigs, they are tough and durable. Hope that helps too. +It seems that most of the bass players I know have used either Fender Jazz bass or Precision bass. One I knew used a Peavey and another a Guild acoustic bass, and another a "Paul Mcartney "violin bass". I guess it's all up to one's taste. The best bass player I have ever known, however, occassionally would play a fender jazz bass but most of the time she "slapped" an upright, doghouse bass. She was so short that she had to modify the foot of the bass to be shorter and had a custom made "milkcrate" to stand on. Lucy was one heck of a bassist!!!!!!!! ======================= Fender is the undisputed king of bass brands. Its Precision and Jazz models probably account for 50 to 65 per cent of bass players. The Music Man StingRay is considered a classic (not surprisingly, it was also designed by Leo Fender). The Rickenbacker 4003 bass is also famous for having been the chosen instrument of Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee and Lemmy Kilmister. Other notable bass brands include Warwick, Ibanez, Yamaha and Danelectro. Gibson's basses are not nearly as popular, but just for having been played by Jack Bruce and Jack Casady, they deserve a mention. ======================= + Esp With LTD basses are pretty good for their price range as well as dean basses which are the best. + Fender is most popular and reliable. But its sound may not be suitable for some styles of music. That's why other people prefer Warwicks with a harsher sound.
