Personal opinons and all, I've played Jazzes the majority of 42 years, Precisions, and Gibson EB's the balance of the time. I kind think you get a good well rounded or punch with the Jazz. The amp you run it through is going to be the final judge of what has the dominance of sound you put out. As much as I totally love 12's, I found for me anyway, my 10's and a healthy setting on the bass side settings pounds, and punches. I don't do slap or funk, so I really can't honestly yak about that. Jazzes work, good all around.
