Fender P bass special or J bass vintage modified?

---

If the musicians of Yahoo! Answers had to pick one of the two, which one would it be, and why?

I'm asking this because I'm looking to get one of them as a starter bass (the Squier version, yes I know they're pretty bad, but I have to start somewhere).

I've heard great things about the vintage, awesome pickups, great neck finish, not so great fretwire. What about the P/J pickup configuration of the P bass special, is it any better or more versatile than the already famous versatility of the J bass?

For a beginner, it's all about playability. If you can, try them both out and just go for the one that you feel the most comfortable on.

As for versatility, any PJ bass will give you a better range than a P because it's basically the same but with an extra pickup. In my opinion, a PJ versus a Jazz will offer even versatility but each extending into different areas. The PJ will be better for smooth, bass heavy stuff while the Jazz is your best choice for brilliance and attack.

Being a Jazz owner myself, I'll give you a biased recommendation to go with a Jazz. I have actually played a PJ Squier recently and it did not impress me much. But like I said before, go for personal preference.
