jmstone Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi everyone, seems like a great place I have been playing bass for the grand total of 3 weeks, but I think I have fallen in love! I was previously on some other kind of smaller stringed instrument in our band (indie/blues type mix) but we had no luck finding a bass player, so I decided to take the plunge.. so happy I did! Currently playing a borrowed and trashed 1979 Ibanez Roadster.. Quite a nice bass, but I am looking to get a bass of my own! I am not completely sure what I need though - I think I will be disappointed if I get a cheap bass having been used to the Ibanez.. Looking for a nice growly tone. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewsie Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 hello! welcome to the forum! heh, you can be sure of getting some ideas on what bass to buy here, you might find this thread on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8009"]buying your first bass[/url] helpful, and there is also the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=19"]sales board[/url] where you could pick yourself up a really nice 2nd hand bass for a fraction of the cost of new. ibanez basses do seem to come pretty highly recommended for good value for money! hope that helps! enjoy the boards. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmstone Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Haha! Thanks Gaf! It was great to meet with you today.. The Warwick is absolutely fantstic! As I mentioned in my other post, I'm not allowed to play it until Christmas. The anticipation is going to be a nightmare, but it will be worth it! Only a couple of more weeks of playing the Ibanez!
