Thanks ALOT man! =) I heard that theres another T-Bird by Tokai called the TB-56 not sure if its the one in question though. Thanks for your help! =)

Hi Guys! I'm getting a new bass soon, and i have set my sights on a Tokai Thunderbird. I really cant get much info on it and most of the info i got on it is mixed. Some Sources say its a bolt on, others say its set neck while there are also some that claims it to be a neck thru. Two shops...

I have a plywood samick SAB 31 p/j To a noob like me, I cant really tell the difference, sounds fine to me, but one thing for sure. Its really heavy...IMO at least.

I've got a funny problem with my P/J though.... The J pickup is SIGNIFICANTLY softer than my P pickup. Is this normal or is this normal? Thanks =)

Sorry but whats Freebird?:hiding:

not very sure about the bass itself, but i've seen it and i really like the shape. Sound wise... i'm not too sure but you can see the reviews.( actually i think i may be getting its little brother the viper 104)=)

OK I just got a new second hand bass from some guy. When i got it the neck was slightly bowed, so i sent it to a shop and he helped me adjust it for free. the next week though, i found he relief was too much(in my opinion) so i want to tighten the truss rod slightly. My allen key fits perfectly...

Thanks guys! I'll try out the suggestions. :D

I just got a second hand samick bass, and it never stays in tune for more than 10 mins. It keeps changing pitch and i have to keep tuning it constantly. Anyone have any idea why? Can you guys suggest ways to fix it? Is there a way to fix the problem WITHOUT changing the Tuners? (no...

Thanks, but like what would be the difference between a Fender 15 watt amp and a 15 watt SX amp?

What is the difference between a good and a bad amp. I am buying a brandless amp due to my extremely low budget, and so i want to know what would be different (eg from a peavey or ibanez amplifier.) Is it a very big difference? If so? How so? Thanks!

Hehe. Cos i only have about 73 bucks left...

I'm going to get a bass VERY soon:hyper:, 2nd hand. Its really cheap, about 70 USD with a gig bag. With it coming so cheap, the owner says its fully playable. It is from a cheap chinese brand (TGM). My question is, what are all the possible faults of a cheap bass? (eg parts fall off... sharp...

Oh ok sorry. Can one use a j bass to play like rock and heavy stuff, and can jazz basses be eq-ed to sound like a p bass?

I Noe it's a really noob-ish question,but what's the essential difference between a jazz and a precision bass. Like,can a jazz bass be used to play metal and rock, (tonewise). Do they reallysound different? Thanks !

yup

Here are the basses: Thats the EX 2nd choce: 3rd choce: the thunderbird [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Any opinions on these basses? for mostly rock, punk etc... Are they too pointy? Btw thanks for all your comments.

How bout the explorers?

Hehe. OK> I always see Tyson Ritter from AAR Use like his V shape bass or his Explorer, even though he dosent really play metal.=P Thanks!

Ok Thanks people, acually, i was thinking of the Thunderbird, or the Explorer. Are Vipers( SG style) considered "metal?

Hey Guys, I'm getting a new bass soon, and was wondering about the shapes thing. Like some people say that Explorer, or V-Basses are only for like metal and like different shapes are only for certain genre, so My question is: can one use a maybe... a Z shaped bass to play stuff like pop, funk or...

Ok thanks alot! =)

oh thanks. but how bout like on stage, and stuff. maybe like just punk, rock or pop. hehe if is not as bad as i thought, i will probably get the ex 104. its smexy man! =P

Anyone know anything bout the EX 104 from ESP/LTD? I was thinking of getting one too. Btw, are explorer basses used only for metal, cos its my first bass and my dad says he dosent want me to get a metal bass.... so... yup thanks =)

Hey i am looking into buying a viper( probably a low end one), as my first bass. can anyone here give me some comments about the ltd viper or reviews. I think just a viper 104. Would really be appreciated! Thanks =)

how about peavys'? cos my budget is reaally small so i'm getting somethin cheap. but the cheaper peavy models have only 21 frets, is that a big drawback?

i'm going to get my first bass soon, and since i havn't got any experience in choosing a bass, i'm not sure how do you tell a good bass from a bad one? Thanks!

Can anyone give me suggestions on a cheap bass with decent quality that looks good? Around 350 bucks, thanks. I'm a beginner btw.

thanks. any other good cheap basses?

I 'm new to bass, and havn't got one yet, and i need a cheap bass, so yesterday i tried the Yamaha RBX170. I can't tell the difference between a good bass and a bad one, so can anyone help me review this bass? Is it good for a beginner? I would really appreciate it if you could give me a review...

THanks for the advice. how bout LTDs? And i dont think i can get used guitars cos i'm getting mine from a shop.

Does B.C rich sound good? Cos they look cool.

Thanks. I think i wil play mostly rock or jazz or somethin, so i think i need something that can play a wide range of styles. and i don't have an amp yet. Is it worth it to buy a starter pack, like is it alot worse than if you buy a guitar on its own in terms of quality?

I'm a pianist/ guitarist and i wanna pick up bass. However, i've got a budget of like $350 so i was wondering what bass to get. Can anyone suggest some good basses for around that price. And what is the difference between a cheap bass and an expensive one? btw is ESP good? Cos i hardly see...
