The perfect Jazz/MM tone in one instrument.is there such a bass.?

G&L jb-2 gets pretty close. Even the tribute models have six bolts, are available in swamp ash (as well as poplar so be careful), and have the supermassive saddle-lock bridge.  It’s a pretty perfect slap tone, imo.

Don't know if anyone has already mentioned these but the Sandberg California TM series are pretty good for the Jazz/MM hybrid. I've played a few of them and never come across a bad one.

This thread is 8 years old and was just dug up by a new member who specifically joined to leave that message about the G&L JB-2 and then left again 

 

...which is an odd suggestion, as it is just a regular passive Jazz Bass with a somewhat Stingrayish shape.
