This is not doing my instrument acquisition syndrome any good at all. probably not likely to find one for my budget though.

My dream bass is something that feels as good on the neck and sounds as good as my Squier Vintage Modified 70s jazz bass - but is about 5 lbs lighter and short scale. I think I found the one in a million when I met someone in a parking lot and gave them $180 for my Squier, but it is a big heavy...

I've been dabbling in bass for a while and I have a Squier Jaguar Short Scale bass and I'm going to have it professionally set up - and I expect the setup and strings to cost almost as much as the bass did originally. My question is - what strings should I have them put on the bass when it is...

And now for something completely different. I've always regretted not buying one of these when they had them on Gold-Tone's b-stock page for about $400.... BB-400+: Banjo Bass with Pickup | Gold Tone Folk Instruments Have no idea what I'd play on a banjo bass, but it is so weird and fun...

Some advice I can get behind - Playing uke was what got me into playing bass. For campfire use I use a Gold Tone Microbass (solid body) and a Roland Microcube (6 or 8 AA batteries). The amp and bass together are less hassle to transport than my Squire Vintage modified on its own. It keeps up...

I was a euphonium player, and sang seriously in college. Got back into music a few years back with a ukulele, which led to a bass uke and then Squier Vintage modified, which led to 5-string and then a P-bass and another uke bass and a shortscale... I think I have a problem...

I went ahead and got the Squier - I was able to get it a little below list price - enough so it would be able to resell in a year or two with only a $50 loss - which is pretty cheap entertainment if you think of it compared to movie tickets...

Which one - Squier Vintage Modified PJ or a Dean Paramount? I'm interested in buying a P-bass and had decided on a Squier Vintage Modified PJ Bass purchased through my local store (they usually make it easy to buy local), but they weren't able to get what I wanted from Fender. While looking...

Hi all - I've been hanging around the site for a few years now since I started playing bass. I started playing bass because I thought my kids school ukulele club (which I started) could use a little bass in the mix, and then I started playing in a band for church. My first bass was a Hadean...
