thats cool, i was actually wondering if you ended up liking thatPABassPlayer wrote:I'm pretty impressed with my $250.00 ESP/ltd les paul bass. It doesn't compare to my US Fenders, but I would not hesitate to play it out live. It sounds very crisp and clean. Great for slap/pop.
I need a new bass

I had an Epiphone Flying-V before, played great and sounded even better.hektik wrote:That's an ugly bass. So much for that beginner bass huh? You'll be left with a piece of odd shaped garbage to put in the corner of your room.
This thing is pretty sturdy, I like the Dean Dimebag versions too. One extra humbucker and saw-blade inlays.
That one in the picture is on ebay for 25 bucks, if it stays under 100 i'll buy it for sure, or even $150.
It's that or the Squire J-Bass I played today.

I think what the low end fenders really lack, in comparison with the Jap/US models, is quality control. When it comes to simple stuff like strats, teles and the p and jazz basses I'm sure you could pick up a Mexican model that would play as well as anything else, if you had the time to shop around and try different ones out.The Doctor wrote:Dean makes a solid guitar. I can't speak for the Squier J though. I've never played one. If I bought a "cheap" J Bass, it'd be a Fender Mexican, at least.

Wait a while and save up to get a better quality piece. You'll thank yourself for it in the long run.
A jap Fender P or J, or even a Warwick Rockbass series run around 400 to 500.00, and you could probably do under 300 on ebay/craigslist.

I'm telling you, a Squier Jazz is the way to go if you're going with a budget instrument. The nice thing about that is you can upgrade stuff in it later, like dropping new pickups or a preamp in it, throwing a Badass II bridge on it, and stuff like that. Then, if you get some serious cash you want to throw down, you can buy a Fender and transfer all the parts over to it. Everyone makes aftermarket parts for Jazz-style basses.

I did like the squier jazz a lot, played well and sounded good on a 100w amp I think.Pfl?yd wrote:I'm telling you, a Squier Jazz is the way to go if you're going with a budget instrument.
