    What bass should I get

    My MiM P-Bass was used, it's a 1998 Model, I got it in 2000, picked it up for $233.87 after tax. I've done a few modifications to it since, but still-it's the best playing bass I've ever played (outside of an Alembic, but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax). In fact, nearly every instrument...

    What bass should I get

    Anything Fender/Squire is worth your money. I play a Fender MiM P as my main bass, it's never let me down.

    I thought my Bass was Big Boss

    Oh no, by YOUR definition, you called ME stupid-you can't have it both ways, mate. But what the hell ever, I don't rightly care-I've got far better things to do with my time than argue with a faceless presumptuous holier-than-thou "dude" on the internet, even if I am laid up from busted up ribs...

    I thought my Bass was Big Boss

    Didn't call him stupid-called the concept stupid, and I will again. I think that ANY instrument that requires you to contort your body into ungodly positions to play a note, or that hits notes so low as to not register in the normal range of hearing, but rather have to be FELT, is a bit, well...

    Fifty dollar bass has me flustered

    Always an option. Go with DiMarzio of you do!

    I thought my Bass was Big Boss

    Not according to him on a couple of other videos, can't hear the low C# without a woofer. Presenting the information as it was presented to me. I don't doubt my ability at all-I'm yet to meet a stringed instrument I cannot play. You assume much about me. Forgive me for having an opinion...

    Fifty dollar bass has me flustered

    You'll find yourself going back to the 'Ray for various bits and bobs, trust me. I thought when I got my RG350DX my ICX120 would take a back seat... NOPE! Hell, I still break out my $50 Lyon Strat copy from time to time. It just depends on what needs to be done. I know those are all...

    I thought my Bass was Big Boss

    Well, I will grant that. I mean, I could see it being used for some avant-garde type music, but in general, it seems to be a serious ego thing, sort of a "Hey! NO NORMAL AMP CAN HANDLE MY BASS! I'M SO COOL!" type thing. Don't get me wrong-I don't mind six string basses, and in fact, am...

    I thought my Bass was Big Boss

    Reckon what he's compensating for then? :hiding: But seriously, isn't it just a bit, well, STUPID?

    Is $550 too much?

    Upon further research, and learning about this "BPX" thing, the highest I'm seeing them go for is $300. That being the case, you'd be getting screwed if you payed $550. Listen to the wiser members of the forums-they probably know more than me-I'm an idiot, for the most part! ;)

    I thought my Bass was Big Boss

    Merlin's Beard, it sounds like TRASH on the lower strings. I mean, it's all... What is the point? I mean, I understand wanting to have an extended range. But when it gets to where you can't even get your hand around the neck in a normal way, when you're having to contort your hands like...

    Is $550 too much?

    Judging by a quick Google Search, that's a steal. Cheapest I've seen is $600someodd, seen a couple going for more'n a grand. So. I mean, I don't rightly know one way or the other, as I know nothing about Peavey guitars/basses, other'n they actually play pretty damn decent (bassist in one of...

    Trying to Identify TWO Basses

    I used it in an eerie sounding song. Again, made a few flubs, but never rightly messed around on a fretless before-and this one has NO MARKERS! There it is. Forgive the flubs. Fluffy (the other bassist) did a damn fine job, though, so yeah. So you're saying it HAS no brand? It's...

    Does the Roger Waters Precision represent a real step up in quality over a MIM P?

    Only reason I would buy it over the MiM P is the fact it's Roger Waters. I'm a HUGE Floyd fan (the first bassline I ever learned was Money, followed by the rest of the Dark Side of the Moon album), so having that would be EPIC SWEET (much like having a Gilmour Strat would just be ACE). Still...

    Trying to Identify TWO Basses

    Classical, as well. Any kind of classical. Folk, too! Also, just realized, I was asked if it was set-neck or bolt-on; it's a bolt-on. No marks on the outside of the neckplate, and I do not trust my ability to remove it and see if there's a maker's mark underneath it. Although, if it...
