Martha Stuart and The DOn't Stop Believers The Original Rip Offs The Jenna-Furs

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to knock expensive basses or anything, just thought it'd be a fun topic

I was just thinking that with all of the threads talking about "whats the best bass for the money?" and such, what the people here on talkbass thought would be a good example of not bass for the money? This could be a bass that is just way to expensive and isn't very good at all, or one that you...

I keep finding supposedly epiphone basses on ebay that have either a precision or jazz body. Are these actualy models that epiphone produced? or did someone slap on an epi' neck? IF they were actual models, when were they produced? Did they make good basses? I'm just curious because i think...

I'm just curious because i thought they looked really cool from the picture and was wondering if those back then were better than typical squier standards today. This One...

Basically I am about to join a band as the bassist and I currently only have a fender rumble 15. I can manage about 300 dollars and would like to be heard above drums and guitar. Also, we'd be playing 70's punk/post-punk type stuff so i wont be competing with super loud metal guitars as far...

Did SX used to carry fivers with the split p pickups?? Not a fan of the ones they carry now...

serj tankian has his own signature first act guitar but thats a guitar so i dont think it applies....

hey this is probably off topic, and been asked/answered before but... when are the new epi' thunderbird pros supposed to be out? OR!! if they are already out, anybody wanna point me in the direction of where (website?)?

I put the word problem in quotes becasue i dont think its that bad of a thing. Just weird. Basically at this point I'm working on ear training and learning by ear and what not (getting pretty good at it too ;)). But to my point, when I sit down with my bass and try to figure it out and...

Those inlays look HOT! (get it?)

I know that there are plenty of threads about both of these basses. But I have only found "sx or VM" type threads. Never a comparison of both together. So, my question is this, which one is the better of the two? More versatile, better feel, etc. I dig the growly tone of most jazz basses...
