Really a lot has to do with your rig too, so mst basses should be fine. I like Schecters, hey look different and play like butter, but lots of people have 'gotten by' with Fenders...

Members rummy Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 Once you get hooked, you'll have one of each anyways. So, which one is going to be your first place? I say a Fender Jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L-1329 Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 Pink FloydToolIncubusAlter BridgeStaindChevelle A lot of songs by some of those bands use a lot of down tuning or Low B five string work. Sure a fiver is not in order here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, which one is going to be your first place?I say a Fender Jazz. I really don't know. I used to own a Fender Deluxe Jazz bass (not the high end American one) and it really didn't do it for me. It didn't have enough punch/thump. Maybe it was the pickups? I am willing to give the American Jazz Bass a try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members i_wanna_les_paul Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 I like Stingrays. The H-H can get a nice, round sound with the front humbucker. But a lot of the Ray's allure is in the feel and sound for me. $.02 Dustin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ender_rpm Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 Pink Floyd- P Bass Tool- Wal (HH 'ray could do this) Incubus- Jazz Bass (Last album anyway) Alter Bridge- Pure {censored}e. Probably a warwick Staind- Warwick, see alter bridge. Alse detuned/5 string Chevelle- Music Man until the latest album, then T-Birds. Often a 5 string So yeah, if that what you want to play, and you want one bass to cover all of those, and you can;t be talked into a G&L L2500, the a Stingray 5 HH is the ticket. Or a bongo.

Members i_wanna_les_paul Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 how different would a HH corvette sound compared to MM Stinray HH? For me it's not so much the sound, but the feel. I played both these basses this weekend, and to my ears the Warwick was more aggressive and had a bit more growl. However, Warwicks have a unique feel - it's the neck and body size that do it for me - that I don't like. The EBMM felt natural. Warwicks always seem like I have to work to play them. Try both before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fireball_73 Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 Warwick Corvette standard. I really like em although I can't afford one. It has a great tone and quite versatile IMHO. Plus you cant get a really good Tool tone with a P bass. Corvette has all the good things about Jazz pickups, but with a more dominant tone that I love.

Members T. Alan Smith Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 They're all great basses. Play each and buy the one that inspires you most. Bear in mind- each instrument should be set up to your tastes for a fair comparison to be made. That said, the shop shouldn't have an issue doing the setups with you spending over a grand there.

Members justinbass Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 L-2000. Another vote for G&L L2000 But seriously, buy the one that feels natural in your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Optimus Prime Posted September 4, 2007 Members Share Posted September 4, 2007 So damn close between the Musicman and Jazz. But I'd go for the American J-bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
