Bass Recommendations

[Skybone]

If you can find a Ric for about a grand, buy it whether you want one or not!

Worth trying though.

Another vote for the Nate Mendel. I have one, and even Scott uses one for his online lessons.

If it were my dosh I'd get a Yamaha BB1024 or 1025 depending how many strings you want. I'm a bit in love with Yamaha BBs at the moment.

As a long time Lakland player I think everyone should try one of these before they decide on a new bass.

I'm really enjoying my near immaculate lakland Bob glaub (Indonesian) p5 bass . Running my Z3 a close second so for £600 it was a bargain..

This x2! Although if you don't want to stray too far from the classic Fender shapes I'd steer you in the direction of a Sandberg TM4 - they have an MM pickup in the bridge position for a bit of a change to your typical jazz sound. Can't fault German build quality either. You should be able to get a nice one for under a grand.
