I'd say a precision for that kinda stuff although a jazz will work too. A PJ gives you the pbass thump and the J pick up gives a bit more treble which can be nice when playing with your fingers. of course loads of manufacturers make ps and js so it will be your budget that decides that.

My budget would be approx 600$ Well, you might be able to find a used Stingray in that price range. I would also look at P's, J's, and P/J's...but that really kinda leaves a big window. Of the two bands you mentioned Cliff used a Stingray, and Duff uses a P/J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mobydacat Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm currently playing in a Metallica, GNR, AC/DC etc coverband on my Fender Jazz and it does the job well, although a precision would be better I guess. Currently using an Ashdown mag 300 amp with MAG 115 & 410T Cabs. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DevilRaysFan Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 If you plan on using the same tone/timbre on every song (a common practice with heavy rock), my suggestion would be If you are a finger player:A Jazz Bass (or similar mid/bridge PU system) or a StingRay If you play with a pick:Fender Precision If you play both fingers and pick and switch tones quite a bit:Fender Jazz (or similar), G&L L-2000/ASAT, or Ibanez SRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tattoo Drums Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 id say the G&L L2000, but you can get a used USA one for the budget on. Just gotta look around. Or a Ernie Ball SUB 4 if your on a tighter budget, i toured with one for a a bit, cool bass. Best sounding P/J bass I have played is my Warwick Fortress one. Or back in the 90's fender made this active bass, I think it was called like a p-bass special, its a mexican made with p/j and kubicki controls on it. had a smaller body, and a pickguard. I had one and it was great sounding. I wish I still had it actually. I agree with the Jazz Bass, a p-bass is always nice. I loved my 77 fender p-bass. Or even some of the Squier MIJ 80's ones are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My budget would be approx 600$ www.rondomusic.com I would recommend a dual soapbar humbucker setup, in my opinion it gives you the best tonal versatility. P basses sound boring to me, and a good jazz bass is always nice for rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey pal, I play a rondo bass, and LOVE it. Everyone that sees my bass (And knows what a bass is) is impressed by it, especially the quality. No one believes I paid $200 for it Not to mention my Agile LP copy... it owns an Epiphone LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
