    Will I benefit from upgrading my amp?

    Will I benefit from upgrading my amp?

Just to clarify a few points that some raised...

    Bass recommendation: Fender AM Perf P-bass or Sandberg?

    This is my first post on the forum. I am looking for a bass recommendation to upgrade to a better quality instrument. I am a relative newcomer to the instrument and I have been learning for a few years and have played a few gigs at this point. I have two basses. The first is an Ibanez SRF705...
