Renegade of Funk Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hello, I recently took up bass (again)...I need a new bass, but am stuck choosing what model Anyway, I wish to purchase a new bass guitar, something along the lines of £200-300, $400-600, and be avaliable in the U.K. I love and am inspired by the sounds of Tim Commerford from RATM, and also Blink 182 bassist Mark Hoppus, so if you know any basses along those sounds I will be most impressed. At first I was going to create my own bass, customize it with my own strings and pickups, and change what I didn't like, but I am not sure so I ask for advice please Any ideas of what model I should purchase ? Thankyou for reading this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Squire Modified Jazz! Looks just like Tims old gigging jazz, and will be easy to customize. Has had many good reviews.
