byrne182 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I potentially have around £250-£300 to spend on a new bass at some point but I am really at a crossroads of what to purchase..... Any Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Narrow it down for us: 4 string, 5, fretless, Classic style (J or P etc.) or something a bit different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrne182 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 4 String, fretted, something classic/old school. Mainly played P's and a Thunderbird in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefbaker Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Also what style do you tend to play, so what kind of sound etc... oop you kind of answered that. TBH at that price I'd try ones in music shops and see what fits. Edited February 5, 2016 by keefbaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Squier VM: there's Jazz, Dimension and Jaguar (SS) in that range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 yeah loads of good stuff in that range What do you like / dislike about your current bass? Also what are you looking for in terms of styling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayn Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Bass Collection, Blockhead, J-bass. Brilliant. Edited February 5, 2016 by grayn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefbaker Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yeah, the Bass Collection stuff is supposed to be cracking for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I`d look at Squier, Yamaha BB range (2nd hand on here). Both very good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebo1 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I received some great feedback on the new race of Sire basses. The 5 string Marcus Miller ones are meant to be great, I'm pretty sure that would mean the 4 strings ones would be too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPTroll Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yamaha BB424 or try and find an old ibanez blazer. Both amazing P bass derivatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Peavey Foundation. About £150. Storming bass - though you may find it too aggressive with rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 The below for £325 is a steal: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/277377-schecter-diamond-jazz-bass-pricedrop-l325-delivered/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
