Answer
Hi, Goker--

If those are the only two basses you will consider, then I definitely recommend the Precision.

I do encourage you to check out other basses, specifically those with "active" pickups. These pickups are much more powerful and make possible a much broader range of technique.

Also, you might want to check out our "Absolutely Free Bass Guitar Lessons:  http://www.may-studio-music-lessons.com/play-bass-guitar.html

Best wishes,
Lynne
