Carl G Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Does anyone use a Bass Collection Power Bass? Would you recommend them - they look lovely "on paper" but do they have that P bass tone? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andytre Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 the power bass actually got me into precision basses id always had Yamaha's and a Musicman before, i then used one to try out some filter pedals on a whim in a guitar shop. It felt very well made and sounded like a P bass should. couldn't afford one at the time so ended up with a Squier of eBay but the power bass got me into them and now i only use Precision. I'd say there good basses but your probably best to go out and try and have a play on one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Never played one , but can't remember ever reading anything bad about one on a forum , only positives given the price point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timhiggins Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I had a bass collection ' Detroit ' bass and it was a blinder i would definitely recommend them ,and i think the ' power ' bass is pretty much the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrasho Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Not tried the power bass but my #1 is a bass collection jazz, and it's a beauty. Apart from the hideous logo on the headstock of course! If I was going for a p bass I'd certainly be looking at bass collection again.

Carl G Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thank you everyone for your comments - I am unlikely to be able to try one beforehand but sorely tempted to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 A friend of mine, Ad (aDx here) had one...spoke very highly of it. Only sold it because of his Tendinitis (I think). PM him for a review... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
