If you want a Real Fender, yes upgrade. I would keep the Squier and find a nice P bass used. It will take a bit of time, but you will save about $700. The money saved can be put toward a new amp AND you can keep the Squier as a backup/beater. If you play an outdoor gig on a rainy day...

I've been doing the Gun for Hire thing this past year and I really love it. No band politics or drama to worry about, I just show up, play and get paid. Ironically, my mental attitude toward the music is different now. You wanna hear Lady GaGa? Sure, pay me. Justin Bieber? ok, whatever, pay...

habit that became preference.

Thank you for the clarification, I don't work on 'em, I just play 'em. now, back to the thread and a collective, KNOCK ON WOOD.

I've had one amp quit on me in the past 20 years, hundreds of gigs, thousands of practices. It was a well used/abused Ampeg BA115 and it happened during practice. Output transformer gave up the ghost and left this world. I'm curious about who else has had an amp quit on them, gig...

I was checking those out as well. I'm looking for a basic setup, gig worthy, reliable. I've read good things about the lil mark.

Thanks for nothing. lol

$1000 bucks, maybe $1200. Power, portable, Tone, not buying used. thoughts? Markbass CMD 102P?

great post, I love my short scale. The thing you have to remember is that if you're watching me play a short scale, you're sitting at MY gig. Why aren't you playing your own bass at your own gig!! Oh snap! Now pay your cover charge I have bills. :)

Duct tape. :D flamed duct tape

I use duct tape and it has never failed.

Well the fella with the Jag got back with me and was pretty motivated to sell it. I got it at the right price and spent about 2 hours on it, polishing the frets, wiping away oxidation with NevrDull, oiling the fretboard, setting the action, adjusting intonation, took out a quarter turn of relief...
