Low368 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Trying to get back on track with my bass playing, had a break for a few years and now I'm having another go with a more open minded approach... The band I play in has written our own material in the past but now we are looking at covering songs and just having fun! I used to believe that any bass with less than 5 strings was pointless (sorry, I blame my teenage years for that view) and never paid much attention to effects either. I'm now looking into buying a 4 string of some description and investing in some effects pedals, any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Telebass Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Howdy! I won't recommend anything, because I'd only recommend one thing - Precisions! I am somewhat biased on these things...However, a good Precision is a thing of amazing versatility, one pickup or not. There, I did it anyway!

Low368 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks for the advice I've been to a guitar shop today to try out a Mexican p-bass and a jazz but.... They only stocked ibanez basses!!! Also been offered a 2nd hand musicman which is in lovely condition but I think the guy is asking a bit much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Musicman is good, but I love P Basses as well. What's your budget......welcome aboard by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low368 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 The budget is tight at the minute so I'm probably looking at 2nd hand basses to get something half decent. What would you say a musicman SUB is worth in very good condition? The guy always looks after his equipment so it's a safe buy in that sense.
