BassAdder60 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Ok folks I have a spare £500 approx burning a hole in my pocket after Christmas and I keep wondering what to buy 1: Bass guitar as second guitar to my Pbass 2: Spare amp head but I have two already 3: Better than my g30 wireless system 4: Other ? I’ve looked at Sterling Sub Ray4 and G & L Tribute 2000 and Player series Jazz and of course a couple of Ampeg heads to use with my SVT212AV I don’t want to not use my Ashdown abm600 so an extra head would be a spare so possibly wasted purchase. I really like my PBass Fender Player and it all works well in my rock covers band Quote
cetera Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) A basic but decent multi FX unit (compressor, chorus, overdrive, tuner etc and basic amp modelling) such as the Zoom B3 or B3N & a back up bass (Sire? Squier CV?) Edited January 13, 2022 by cetera Quote
Steve Browning Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Squier Classic Vibe Pbass as a spare. If you want a change then Sterling SUB Stingray (but fit a Retrovibe Stinger as it's a brilliant pre-amp). All within budget. Quote
bass_dinger Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 £500 would buy a lot of lessons. For me, that would be the preference - but, I probably need £500 of lessons! A case? Better cables? 1 Quote

Lfalex v1.1 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 No mention of cabs.. No need for an extra one? Otherwise, I'd either; a) save up more b) look around the classifieds for a bass around the £500 mark, but not necessarily a direct back-up for the P Quote
BassAdder60 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Some more meat to the original post Don’t need extra cabs as I’m happy I have a spare Yamaha bass ( cheapie ) so Bass would need to be close in spec to my Pbass No to multi fx as been there and don’t like them much Quote
neepheid Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 G&L Tribute LB-100 if you want something similar to your P bass as a backup but just subtly different enough to justify itself in its own right? Quote

Quite like that idea although no stock of the LB-100 showing anywhere I believe Quote
Lozz196 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Sorted for amps & cabs says new bass to me. If in a gigging band whatever bass you get imo needs to either cover a tonal aspect the current one can’t (useful in a covers band) or if always keeping to the same sound be able to replicate it quickly in case of string breakage/electrics issue. 1 Quote

I can't imagine they only ordered one in especially for me. They maybe simply haven't got around to listing them yet. Quote
