Comparison of Fender Jazz Bass on the neck pickup vs Precision split coil.

My opinion... I generally use the P when I play with a pick and the J with fingers.

Both these basses are from the same range and the same year so have identical woods and hardware. In real life this P Bass has a lot of resonance and life, whereas this particular Jazz sometimes feels a little dull and lifeless. But as I was mixing the track I found myself struggling to tell them apart!

The output on the P is much higher than the J, so I did adjust the levels to balance it out, but other than that, no eq or effects.

The track is just something I improvised and recorded into Cubase. Both bass tracks are unedited single takes so apologies for the sloppy playing in parts!

I also used a Squier Classic Vibe 50's Tele for the guitar sounds and Roland FP90 for keys. I sequenced the drums and used built in sounds in Cubase.
