Everywhere saying that Mio uses a Precision Bass in the manga has been bugging me, as she clearly has the same Jazz Bass as the anime in the later volumes. Now that I have all of them, I think I've figured it out: It's only in the very first few chapters of the manga she has a P-Bass (in identical colours to the Jazz), the last time it's seen is the title picture for the chapter where Sawako's past is revealed. The next time enough of it is in the frame to tell which of the two it is, it's magically turned into a Jazz Bass (Azusa's flashback frame of the welcoming concert, well into Volume 2).

Now, I haven't actually had the time to read the first two Volumes yet (I was just looking for this), but when I do I'll see if there's an explantion for this (which I doubt), or if it's a retcon.
