Precision or Jazz B?

If you're looking at that price range, I just purchased an Ibanez GSR200fm as my first b for $250. It's really really versatile because it has both a P and a J pickup. However if you're bend on a Squire, I'd go with the Jazz B, hands down no questions asked. You are given two pickups so you can alter your sound and also the neck is easier to play with so I hear.
