the p bass is the very first style of bass ever created, it has a thicker neck and split type pick up. this is usually the bass of choice for punk players as this bass produces a chunkier and heavier sound than the Jazz bass.
Both bass are great but it would depend on you which one you like better. you have to try them out personally. do more research. check out the bass players out there what bass do they use. this would give you a better chance of making a decision.
Personally I prefer the Jazz bass as it is more versatile.
pick ups are the black things in the middle of the bass body, they are the electronics that "picks up" the sound of your bass. it is like a more complicated microphone.
