    Honest opinion between a $300 squier jazz bass and a $700 and up Fender jazz

    I think that the difference is often exaggerated between the two, but I would definitely not call them the same. Squiers seem to have a cheaper feel to them, and the ones I've played have had bridge and tuner issues. Honestly though, they're not too far off from any good bass, and some of them...

    anyone interested in a $55,000 jazz bass?

    Damn, I think he'd have a very very hard time getting a tenth of that.

    About brands.

    Huge tonal differences, EQ, weight, looks/finish, types of wood, tuners, pickups, neck widths, scale lengths, # of strings, bridges, etc. Of course, a $4000 boutique bass will (well, SHOULD) have better craftsmanship than a $200 assembly line bass.

    stingray or sterling?

    I haven't personally played a Sterling, but the Stingray is definitely versatile! I played the HH model, I could dial in tons of interesting tones. I think both the Sterling and the Stingray have solid low ends -- if I were you, I'd considering making your decision based off preference in...

    Ebay ads that make you go hmmmm....

    A little off topic, but here's a similar idea. $7,000 strat on craigslist -- ridiculous. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    Musicman Basses

    I played a new Stingray HH at guitar center a month ago or so, it blew me away, if I had money I would have purchased it right there. I haven't heard a Sterling in person though I think they sound similar based off my online observations from Youtube videos. Bongos sound great, but they look...

    Getting a New bass, need help deciding (I'm New Here)

    I don't think you could go wrong with a P-bass or a Ric for Indie.

    Yamaha RBX170 or Ibanez GSR200? Which is better?

    I've got a GSR200, it's ugly, but it's durable and the sound is horrible. It's a good backup bass.

    Which body shape?

    I'm not a huge fan of either, but I would seriously recommend the jaguar, the series II would be pretty difficult ot make and looks like it might kill your leg.

    CuBase LE and US-122L help

    Create a new project, then a new raw audio track, and hit record. If nothing shows, make sure you select the driver in the options panel.

    Lexicon Lambda?

    I disagree, the software is poorly written so that even if you follow the procedure step by step, it can error out. On one of my computers, it freezes whenever it tries to do the final step of confirming the activation online. Obviously, it's not actually a problem with the connectivity...

    Double Bass Most Expensive Double Bass

    I'm sure some of the finest instruments are in the hundred thousands. I know someone with a violin worth over $600,000 so a bass of that price wouldn't surprise me.

    Lexicon Lambda?

    Cubase LE activation was a nightmare. No buzzing, a little latency. I got mine for $80.00 with a coupon, I think it's worth it. I've uploaded a video I recorded with my pandora, mim p-bass, and lexicon lambda.

    Are the strings on a 5 string bass closer together than strings on a 4 string bass?

    I've played many 4 strings and only a few 5ers, but it seems as though the spacing on the 5ers is a little more condensed to limit neck size.
