Best Overall Company for Bass?

Unread post by GSR » Fri Jun 06, 2003 8:44 am

here's what i've been playing since i started bass just last christmas:

Ibanez GSR200

its a perfect beginner bass, and i like Ibanez, and i love the thing to death, but i was wondering what companies to drift towards since everyone claims to have the best this that and the other thing. :lol:

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

ive always thought of ibanez basses to be good. i cant really tell much of a difference between basses though... except for looks... when youre performing live i dont think people will be able to notice the difference between 2 basses..

Ernie Ball Music Man basses are really good. I like the Stingray series, very nice. Also I like the Fender Jazz basses, they're pretty sweet.

yeh both Fender Jazz and P basses sound pretty nice. It also depends a lot on the amp.

i went to the local guitar center...and played a couple of warwick basses in their sound room....MAN those things are incredible, not even a bit of fret/string buzz....smoothest thing i've ever played. stefan showed us what warwicks can do on LS. great stuff.
