Well it's been a while since I visited this thread, but I figured I might as well post what I did end up with......an EBMM Sterling! This bass was on the list but the $$$ kept me from getting serious. However, I stumbled into a very good deal on one and it now lives with my other guitars. It...

HP? Hum/Precision I assume? Sorry to be ignorant but did you set it up yourself? PaulP

MM Sterling guys, What is your prefered pu configuration.....H, HH, or HS? I have pretty much settled on this bass and I thinking HS if I find one that suites me, but I would love to hear from you guys. Obviously everyone has different needs but I am interested to hear what you guys prefer...

If you are interested I know where there is a BRAND NEW old stock MIA Fender P-Bass (Inca Silver/Rosewood) for $799 and a MIA Fender Jazz Bass (Red/Rosewood) for $899. I am sure the dealer ships and I played both and they are perfect. I decided to go a different direction this time but next...

I have been running all over creation playing a bunch of MIA P's (as well as Jazz's) and there are differences for sure. As I stated in my other post the other day..this all started out with a $500-$700 budget and an Ibanez SG series for recording in my home studio (it's a Pro Tools LE setup)...

Hey Guys, I have narrowed my choices down to a MIA P-Bass, which I have played quit a bit at this point, or the TF Fretted model. I really do want a P/J configuration for the added flexibility. However, I cannot find a TF anywhere in the area to go play (I am in Central NJ). Can anyone...

played a few more basses yesterday and it really is NOW coming down to a Warwick Corvette, a Fender Jazz, or a Fender P-Bass. If I go Fender I haven't decided on the exact model. but I do like the neck on the a few of the Jazz Basses I played. The P-Bass is also a serious...

haven't ruled it at this point......gonna go play it again tomorrow. PaulP

Well spent more time playing basses today and have come to some decisions....the Ibanez is out. Compared to the Warwick and........wait for it......the FENDER P/Jazz bass it was "tinny" to my ear. It became very apparent after I plugged in the Jazz bass. The fenders all have their signature...

Yea I have a tube pre and was gonna pick up a sans amp as well. I really haven't given the Fender Basses a good looking at recently as my ear really likes the stuff with active electronics....not too mention fender is just stupid with pricing these days..at least on the six string side of...

I am also watching the classifieds but would really like to be able to play bass "x" before buying. Just my experience in general. But I have not ruled it out for the right deal on whatever. PaulP

Well I go from the blues of Jimi/Stevie to Van Halen/OZZY ....and everything in between. May even venture into the modern funk stuff...some of the stuff I heard TM Stevens doing was way cool..and heavy! The recording setup is a Pro Tools 002 rack stup with a MAC. Still getting it all worked...

Hey guys...first post here! First I would like to make clear that I am a guitar player (31yrs and counting...God I'm getting old!) and need a bass for my home studio setup. I have done a fair bit of homework and have found a few basses locally that interest me. 1. Ibanez SG...
