Members Death Hands Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 A G&L if I wanted to cover tons of tonal ground. An MM if I wanted to have an MM. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Optimus Prime Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Get a Musicman. That will be my next bass. It will match my Fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zebra Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 I'd check out a G&L if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members REMUS Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Kinda matches your EB0 But I would personally go for a 4 string 'ray, i'm after one myself in the near future.

Members Death Hands Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 hah! lotta help you are :poke: what bass would you get with around a thousand bucks? Probably an L2K. MAYBE a used MM, if I found one that really, REALLY spoke to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Guttermouth Posted November 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Probably an L2K. MAYBE a used MM, if I found one that really, REALLY spoke to me. the l2k is kinda where i was leaning. i had a tribute model that i should have held on to....... but, then again it might be nice to have a nice jazz.

It will match my Fender. the only reason i'm hesitant about a musicman is all the talk about them being really inconsistent ( one being crap and the next being killer etc...)

Well, a NICE jazz > L2K for me, but I've got a permanent Jazz bass chubby. Haha. Really love the tone a nice Jazz can have. My MIM hasn't been bested by anything yet. I was disatisfied with the sound, and, then, I tossed it over to my recording station, did a little bit with some drum loops and a synth thing, and I realized why it is the king of my stable. Haha.

I haven't heard that before. I just got my bass in July, so it'd be over a year before I could talk myself into buying another bass. I hope they fix their {censored} in the next year or so.

Members el_duderino676 Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 A proper T-40 and a Dano Longhorn. Nah, I'd go for a G&L ASAT if I were you, but then again, I have a strange lust for Tele shaped basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guttermouth Posted November 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 what jazz were you thinking of?MIJ/CIJ, Tokai...etc? ideally - i'd like to have an older 80's japanese jazz.i could maybe go for an older mia if it had enough character.

Members REMUS Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 old mia = overpriced imho. but I haven't played one to comment properly, however you could buy one partially as an investment... they seem to keep going up in value.
