Thank you for the reponses, I think I'll get the cheaper one, the lacquer finish and the case are not really qorth an extra $300, at least not for me. I like the neck profile, the wider the better, for some reason basses must feel really big on my hands when compared to guitars

Hey, could anyone who's played or owned one of these give me some input? I'm almost set on buying one because of the looks and the only demo video I could find on youtube, but turns out the video and any comments I came across were refering to the Classic Series 50s Precision Bass, which costs...

Saw this GK 400rb for around $400, comes with a 2 10", dont know which model the amp is, the pics arent good quality, there's no info on the speakers, I emailed the seller but he hasnt answered yet. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Seems like a GK would be the way to go, te problem is their...

So the "band" is finally put together next week (started as 3 guys doing covers on guitar, then I went bass, soon to be a "complete" band with the new drums), and I don't think my 30 watt Fender will be heard over the drums. We play "technical" (still got a long way to go) thrash metal, so the...

Here are 2 really bad pics of my F-414 I bought last august, taken with my phone. I'll upload HQ pics sometime later. I really like it, wouldn't recommend it for stuff lighter than Thrash metal though, at least not on my cheap amp, mids are very strong, great for annoying the neighbors with...

Can I join the club? Got my ESP LTD F-414 yesterday, will post pics soon

Ok, visited the music stores this afternoon, I'm getting the LTD F-414 (4 steing version of the bass that was suggested, dont really need a 5th string, although is nice to have it, I'll miss it), it comes with EMGs DC35. Now I guess I'll just have to start searching and saving for a new amp. I...

I'm about to get a new bass, might be an ltd F-5e or a D-5 or D-5 (the F is like $100+ and only difference is shape), they all come with esp pasive stock pickups and an active preamp. Now, here's my confusion: The difference between passive and active on guitars is pretty clear to me, but...

Any ideas on which would have a more aggressive tone?

After looking at a lot of websites and some stores trying to find my next bass (that I can afford), I narrowed my choices to these 2. Thank you for your time! I thought the CB-XV was better because it's more expensive and it has EMG HZ pups (I know they are emg's entry level pickups, but I...

I'm just looking for gear to practice right now, once I'm ready to play some shows, I'm thinking of around 1k for the amp (probably cab and head), but thx for the suggestions. The used market here is either very cheap or pro quality, I've only seen $60 used combo amps and $1k+ cabs. Also, for...

After researching and asking, I found my possible next bass, a Jackson "David Ellefson Signature" CB-XV (it has EMG HZ40 pups), but I'm still not sure whether I should get a new bass or amp. I play a Cort Action V-A through a Fender Rumble 30, they sound good for the price, although the sound...

I'm trying to decide between an LTD F-5E and an LTD F-155. They both have the same electronics, but the F-5E has a Mahogany body with an Ebony top and fretboard, the F-155 is Basswood with flamed maple top and rosewood freatboard. The F-5E is neckthrough and the F-155 is bolt-on. I've...

Can't decide which one($380). There are tons of videos on the Jackson and it sounds good, couldn't find any vids on the ltd (just a bad quality video of a guy playing some song), just a review that says it's a very good bass. I wanted to know, if any of you guys played any of these basses...

I can get one new for $20 and since is a good price, I had to really think about buying it. I can't find much information about it, a comment on amazon said it was very noisy, but the only thread I found here, said it wasn't noisy, but didn't really like the sound of it. Is it worth the $20...
