1976fenderhead Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Looking to buy a cheap bass for spare, I use a MIA Jazz Deluxe as my main bass and looking for a bass that plays similarly on the neck. What are my options besides Squier? Edited February 9, 2018 by 1976fenderhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have a great Aria ATB with one of the best necks I have played. Only payed £80 for it last year. It’s my backup bass for gigs and has never let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 There are a few Peaveys that spring to mind - cheap and cheerful Milestone aren't bad, Fury and Foundation petty damned good, especially the USA ones with the lined headstocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrasho Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Bass collection jazz bass, although the neck might be a bit slimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifi2112 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I got a J&D jazz as a backup / pub gig bass last year from DV24/7 (Musicstire de) for £114 (I believe) was really impressed with it .. so much so I upgraded the hardware / pickups & had a fret level as I thought it was worth it .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenochrome Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) I got a Peavey Milestone as a cheap passive backup - I've ended up playing quite a few gigs with it. Edited February 10, 2018 by Adrenochrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corndog Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 G&L SB-2 Tribute maybe? Not sure if that is cheap to you, but it does have a very nice jazz sized neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hmmm. You could do worse than a Yamaha BB424 or similar. The P/J config would give you a different flavour to your US Jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
