The Perfect Bass (it's a bass specialist store in the US) has a video part on their website.

If you ever wondered what the difference between a Jazz and a Precision was here's the answer.
It's all about slaps and chops, apparently, but not in the way you're thinking :)

'You need both!'

For the first minute or so it was fairly interesting, but it descended quickly into corporate shilling, (you need both) generalisations (if you play a Precision you always play in the pocket) and outright strangeness!

I still like the Jay guy though, he is pretty watchable.

To be fair to the guy - he did say something like 'I'm a Fender guy - if course I'm going to say 'both'.

The chop and slap.........well....... I know where he's coming from. I always say if you have a tool kit the Precision's the hammer and the Jazz is the rest.

BTW - saying P bass (Pee Bass) when you're talking about a Fender should be punishable by death. How hard is it to say 'Precision'. 'P' bass , to me , sounds like something a copy manufacturer would do to avoid a law suit.
