i would also offer up the advice to buy used. alot of basses (not all) are like cars in that they depreciate a little bit before their worth stabilizes. and unless the instrument is damaged, and its decent one, it isnt going to sound isnt going to get worse. i would go with fender too (though...

this is exactly what i have right now, and i love it. im wanting to experiment with the 4 string though, to see how much i actually would miss having the low B. while i use the B string quite a bit, i rarely spend much time on it. its usually a hit here and a vamp there, or whatever. we will...

i dont know anything about those two pedals, so you may want to ignore my response, but i use an ibanez phat head pedal and love it. it has settings for clean boost, overdrive, and distortion so that you can several different types of boosts depending on what you want to do. i use mine for a...
