Peavey Patriot! Over 25 years old and you can get them for under $150.00 with original hardshell case. They had an Alnico Pickup and a maple neck that felt like a Fender P! It was my first bass, over 20 years ago, and it rocked! But then again, I may be emotionally attached to it... ;-)

Mi recommendation: 1. Set a budget (Max Price Range). I have learned that sound quality is proportional to $$. You can buy a cheap amp for almost nothing but that is what you end up with. If they offer you all the bells and whistles for less than the base price of the big boys, Stay away! 2...

here are my 2 cents on this amps. I have a very good friend who is the manager in a major music store here in PR. He has informed me that he has stacks of Bugera amps that have died on customer hands on the first day! while I was talking to him at the store, a Cliend arrived with his Bugera...

I have a Highway one Sunburst and it feels very good compared to other Lower cost Jazz. I did some upgrades to mine, Polished the paint because it comes "Satin", Replaced the Pick guard to an american Deluxe, Installed a DiMarzio Series-Parallel volume knob and a Hipshot D-tuner. It sounds...

I have a MTD Kingston KZ5 (I know it is not a "real" MTD USA) it is the "Low prized model" I gig 6-10 times a moth and it has never disappointed me! tone is perfect and it feels very balanced. It replaced an Original Tobias Killer-B (S/N 2444). other than a lower output, it sounds the same! the...
