Ant_On_Bass Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I know these are all very different, but i was wondering if anyone could give me a bit more insight on how these compare to each other? i'm looking to buy a cheapy backup bass :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If going for a backup I`d start at looking at Squier CV range. Amazing instruments, not for the money, just amazingly good full stop. Not had any of the basses mentioned, but did have a CV Precision and couldn`t believe how good it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I tried a modern player jazz, cv jazz, mim jazz and a blacktop jazz with the same intention. Bought the blacktop - seemed clearer, boll##ier and punchier to me. Neck was nice on all. The tone control is a bit all or nothing and there is a big difference to the sound from each pickup (sort of stingrayish on bridge, precision but bit smoother on neck and scoopy/ twangy with both on full). Heres a good link to a soundclip of a blacktop - possibly the best bass sound i've heard for a long time. https://www.box.com/s/0giiip2y1612vfjh9dix Edited May 28, 2013 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
