To play the game, you've gotta pick two that total less than $1,000!

There has never been a better time to buy good basses cheap.
Used, you can get close to $2k worth of basses for $1k. |

I was fortunate to get it at that price, and I have yet to see one sell for less than that.
I loved that thing, but traded it off for a Jazz for some reason. 
And without looking it up, it seems I saw an older MM Sub for around $600 or so the other day.
So your two are pushing the limit, but they are excellent instruments. Good call! | Let's just say... It can be done.

Perhaps I should have included all of the vital information of this thread in the title.
Then we wouldn't have a problem!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Farmingdale NY. | | | Boring answer here. I'd probably go with a MIM P and J. I guess retail would be a bit over a grand, but I'm sure I could find either a coupon or haggle a bit at a non chain store. Used is always an option. Probably could find one of each with some nice upgrades for 1000. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: dallas, tx | | | I’ve never paid $1000 for a bass, although I have basses worth more than that. Currently I own 8 basses, so I can view this question two ways, get rid of all but two, or start over with zero and buy two.
Option 1: Get rid of all but two
I have never loved a bass more than my Coronado II, but that has a lot to do with sentiment, I will admit, so she stays. Next would be my ‘72 MIA Jazz although for years I really didn’t care for it that much, until a pup went out and I replaced both with Fralins. I also have a Tricked Out AFN P that I’m extremely proud of which I actually like better than my J. It also as a Fralin , but I keep the J if I “HAD” to choose.
Option 2: House burnt down and starting over
I’m a big fan of USA Peavey so I’d get a Axcelerator or Foundation for less than $350, and a Squier CV P for $350. But if you forced me to spend $1000, than a used Cirrus, $650, and a Squier CV P.
BTW, A really good Squier is a really good bass, but sometimes you can get a lemon. I'm trying my best to like my VM SS Jag because, for one, it's short scale, and two, I've heard such good things about them from the club. My AFN P was a better bass before any mods were done. Maybe I got lucky.
