Liam Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Hi there, I'm thinking of a new one in the new year, not spending a great deal of cash, but these are the two I'm thinking of: Ibanez GSR300 or Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazz Bass in Olympic White I normally play an Aria Pro Tab 60 and a Fender Precision through a Trace Elliot AH300SMC with a 2 x 10 and a 1 x 15 cab. Love the Aria, but leaning more to the Precision with my current band Quote

My advice would be to list the basses you're asking about in the thread title Quote
lozbass Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I've seen and played a Classic Vibe jazz (Olympic White) - it looked fantastic and sounded fairly good. It really needed a good set-up but I've no doubt it could be an excellent bass Quote
bassmansky Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 i tryed a classic vibe out the other week and was very impressed with it,although it was the 60's p-bass model.value for money......yes indeeeedee! Quote
Hamster Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.......Olympic white, Ummmmmmmmmm, brown tort pickguard, Ummmmmmmmmmm Quote
budget bassist Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) 1. There's no such thing as a GSR300, there's a GSR200 and an SR300 though. the SR300's are meant to be good. 2. I'd go for the squier classic vibe, they've been making some top notch stuff recently. 3. go play them both Edited December 14, 2008 by budget bassist Quote
skankdelvar Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Never played either of them, but I've noticed the VMJ getting a good rap on here. Also seen a few in the for sale forum - might save you a few bob... Quote
Liam Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks very much everyone, it was the SR, spotted a CV at £219, bargain!! Looks like that's the one. Tried it out in my local shop, but not paying £350. Again, nice one(s) all round Quote
