Members Li Shenron Posted February 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Play a lot of basses, and get the one that you enjoy playing, screw the price... Well, the problem is that I'm heading for the screw-me fork: if I screw the price and pay 600e, I probably won't screw my wife for a while. Or, I suppose I can just lie to her However I noticed there are lots of Ibanez Soundgear on Thomann.de, some of which are down to ~250e. They must obviously have something less than the >600e, but if they feel just as good in hands as the one I tried, then I'm sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, what I meant by that was don't buy a bass just cause it's expensive, and think it's gonna be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dthraco Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Those are like Squiers compared to US fender's -when compared to the Ibanez you played. Bite the bullet and get the one you liked. The reason: Because you KNOW it will play well and work for you for years to come. If you are any type of regular gassing guitarist, you will replace the one that isn't quite up to par and be out more in the long run anyway. My wife told me this same thing...get the one that you know is GOOD. That way you don't loose more money in upgrading all the time. Especially since you have played guitar so long, this stringed instrument won't take long to adapt to, and when you do, you will demand the same level of playability that you do of your guitars. The extra three dials are an active EQ section, with the switch to take them out of the circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
