Cool absolute music is like a hour away from me, stringing doesn't seem that much different that the guitar:). You guys had me worried it was something more difficult than that, though I haven't strung a guitar for over 5 years.

Cheers, so its a totally different from guitar stringing?. Damm, can someone link me to a good video since there's no point me searching so I need people with experience to help guide me:)

I'm so happy, never liked playing electric guitar and always wanted to play bass but godamm peer pressure when I was young and into grunge.

Ta-da Ibanez SR300 in pearly white Arriving on Friday, its used but I don't mind the photos the seller sent me showed it was well loved. Now can anyone throw me any guides on strings, how to string it up since I haven't done anything like except for a guitar years ago. Plus any decent sites with funk, soul bass notation/tab or books?. Thank you, can't wait.

The b424 is nice but I'm severly restricted by my budget which is £150.

I'm new to the bass, so besides from type what strings do I need again?.

[quote name='such' timestamp='1337993212' post='1668548'] I would also recommend a second hand Yamaha. You can get a late '90s to early '00s BB-series basses for under 150 pounds all the time on ebay. These are perfectly giggable workhorses, simple but effective, with solid materials and decent hardware and pickups. As for the sounds you want - any good bass can sound low and warm, that's what basses are for. If there's too much treble for a situation, turn it down on the bass or on an amp or whatever. I wouldn't go for that classic "P with flats" advice that is given whenever someone asks for a warm sound. A solid, simple bolt-on bass with two pickups and roundwound strings is my recommendation. [/quote] Thanks but what model are I'm looking for, is it a specific BB?

[quote name='MrTaff' timestamp='1337963220' post='1668164'] Sure you could use any bass for any genre but I think a P bass would suit you much better, P with flatwound strings would give you the low, warm bass sound you want. [/quote] Could I install flatwound strings on the SRX? I won't be using this live, its more studio use.

Thank you. I be buying the SRX for second hand, only have a small budget but the thing that distracted me from purchasing the SRX was the rock/metal connotations. Sure its the user who wields the instrument but I do want a low, warm bass nothing with too much treble.

I was wondering if anyone can help me, I'm looking to buy my first bass and I'm looking at the SRX300 however, I hear its more for hard rock/metal which I'm not. I like to use it for soul, funk, blues. So is the SRX300 just marketing hype and similar to the SR300 or should I really steer away?.
