Bass Guitars

Kai:
I was actualyl thinking about saving a little money and assembling a guitar from parts. That'd be fancy.

M3gaBigh:
I have a cort action bass. It looks pretty sweet but it rattles when I hit some notes, I think that may just be my technique :P

theheadoffatness:
+1 on the bloke that recommened the cort basses- ive beeen playing a Gb64 for the last 5 years: a) because im a tightarse b) because it aint too shabby.

Best bet for finding a nice bass (on a budget)- get your greasy hands on the nicest 'tar in the store then find the one you can afford that sounds the closest. Or steal the nice one... that works too.

Misereatur:
I'm a fender man
I have a fender Jazz Bass Highway 1 (made in 2003) and it never faild me.
great sound and the neck is slim and comfy.
I play with diadrio (sorry about the spelling) .45 strings.
Althogh it came with a .40

but, I playd on my friend's Yamaha fretless bass most of the summer and really liked it. I usually tuned the bass and treble on the bass itself and left the controlers on the amp pretty low so it sounded just like a duble bass.

Also, Warwick Corvet models are good. rich thick sound.
you have to get used to the thick neck, but when you get past that its well worth the money.

Saturday:

--- Quote from: thermodynamics ---one option that has been overlooked is to upgrade your bass. do you like the way your squier plays?  if so, upgrade parts! it's cheaper than buying a new one and you can save your money for a really nice bass in the future (why pay $400 now and then want to buy a $1000 bass in a year or three?).
--- End quote ---


if he has a crappy squier, the wood may be of really bad quality (or even plywood) and upgrading wouldn´t be the best idea. you can upgrade lots of stuff, but if the body of wood is bullshit, then you will always have an average bass imho.
