Brand New Bass Guitar
negative creep:
My old cheapo bass finally kicked the bucket recently and, as i currently play the bass in a band, i need a new one ASAP. This calls for decisive action! Now, as I'm not an expert on the topic, I hereby ask for your help, fellow forumites! My budget is quite low, so i have pre-selected a few candidates within my price-range.
1) Epiphone EB 0CH short scale bass, €199
2) Fender Squier Affinity Jazz Bass, €222
3) Fender Squier Std. Jazz Bass, €239
4) Fender Squier Affinity Precision Bass, €179
5) Fender Squier P-Bass Special, €244
Which one of those, if at all, should I consider buying?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Lummer:
I vote for an Ibanez or Schecter, actually.
I KNOW they don't look very non-metal, but like it or not the low-cost range of those two brands blow Squier the fuck away.
doombilly:
yeah, I agree with him. Ibanez or even Yamaha have better working low-end models.
imapiratearg:
I guess I'd have to agree. I played a Schecter guitar that was pretty cheap, and it felt very nice and sounded it. I'm not very familiar with their basses, but one would expect their basses to be on par with their guitars.
The Viz:
Stay the hell away from Squier. Seriously. My best friend started out on a Squier P-Bass, and even he in his n00bish state could tell how much it sucked. I personally like Ibanez. I've never played a Schecter Bass, but the one time I borrowed a freind's Schecter guitar for an audition, I wasn't a huge fan, though I think he had his set up weird.
