I'm wondering, are you moving from guitar to bass? I tried the switch the other way around a few years ago, moving from bass to guitar and found it unbelievably difficult. If you are moving over from the ordinary guitar you might find the jazz bass' narrower neck a little easier to adjust to. Otherwise I'd still say the wider necked P. Bass is all round the better bet. No bass provides that distinctive thud quite like a P. Bass.
