| | | | Got me a Jazz, what should be my next bass?
I got a Jazz bass. It is a lot of fun and I really like the tone. I play blues and a little classic rock. Thinking about getting a second bass. I am into old school tones. I am thinking a Precision would be too close to the Jazz so I am not thinking P. But maybe I am wrong. (Also, I want to keep it in $300 - $700 range price wise.)
So what should I be looking at? |

| | | | Precision. When you have a Jazz and a P, you will find use for both. Especially for the influences you list

| | | | Oh and put some flats on the P, with that and your Jazz, you'll be in classic rock & blues heaven

| | | | I bought the P first, then got a J.
Get a P.
Flats on the P.
Rounds on the J.
(Make them both Fender American Deluxe, and you're pretty much covered.) |

So um... Yeah. Get a Precision. Then get a second one. Keeps flats on one, rounds on the other, and rounds on the Jazz. |

| | | | Another vote for the precision. Mexi p with flats would fit right into your price range and would be quite different from the jazz.

| | | | Also, I think that the Precision is quite a bit different sounding than a jazz.

| | | | Wow, overwhelming responses guys. I guess I need to start looking at a Precision then! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: USA | | Did you get a Precision bass yet? Because you really need one. And I'd put flats on the jazz and rounds on the precision. Unless I did it the other way around.  |

| | | | haha everyone said precision, even though you said you didn't want one. trust them, a p-bass sounds very different from a j-bass. but beyond that, it's not your only option, someone suggested a G&L Tribute bass and those are very nice basses and somewhat different from both |

|  | Registered User | | | | | I'm in the same boat. I was surprised not to see sterling or stingray mentioned. Would all of you vote fender p ahead of the eb's? I just seem to read a lot about them on this forum | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
