Marvin Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Just chucking a thought around. Pondering getting a Precision style bass, but would also like it to be active if I were to get one. Are there any in the budget* price range? *I suppose budget would be around £250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I think that's a categorical no.Get a cheapo P bass and shove some active EMG's in would fit the budget,but the active circuitry would cost more than the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Get a Sue Ryder P-bass and a John East P-retro... may be just within budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essexbasscat Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Get a Classic Vibe P bass as a starter, then modify that with John East gear, or something else, perhaps offboard DI box of some kind ? May be a little over £250, but the CV is a really nice place to start from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks. It was more out of hope than anything. I've been looking at a CV P-bass for a while now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
