Grangur Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Keep the Squier and learn to play while you try out lots of basses. One day, if you're lucky, you'll find a bass that has a sound to die for and that £1k will be there for it. or.... you could join the rest of us on that GAS merry-go-round of buying and trying and losing money until you learn the difference is all in the fingers anyway. Your choice. Quote
Grangur Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Don't forget the amp is probably half of the sound. Maybe you could look at finding a better amp? Good bass & crap amp = crap sound Cheap bass & good amp = good sound Quote

xilddx Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I'm still expecting a post in about two weeks saying NBD!! Just got a FCS 75 Jazz in Oly White or whatever Quote
skankdelvar Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 What people have said about keeping it and getting a decent set-up by a reputable luthier. That. Quote
steve-bbb Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 [quote name='red rooster' timestamp='1413450940' post='2578294'] Thanks folks to be honest that's what I thought everyone would say , so I'll keep my squire I've a practise amp so I'm ok there also no neighbours so I can practise whenever I like .not really clued up on effects and things like that. May use the money to get more lessons probably the best idea. [/quote] if the squire is nice enough and you spend a modest 50-80 quid on a decent set of pups you probably wont want/need to splash out on an expensive bass for a while imho mcton etc etc Quote
discreet Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Spend the £1000 on drugs - you'll sound utterly fantastic and make lots of new friends!! Quote

[/quote] Seems legit. Although as for taking the drugs yourself... 1,000 quid is rather a lot. Quote
