+1. It would probably be worth checking out some Lakland Skyline stuff... Nice necks, great sound, best thing for the money in my opinion. And if you go used you could probably find something great for under $700.

Lots of great suggestions here, you couldn't miss with many of them.

My +01 is for the 44-01. $735 new '09 Skyline series. I just bought my first "used" Fender Jazz bass and I love it. The 44-01 would really blow my mind. Good luck.

Check out the Spector Legend Custom, which has a set neck. Upgraded electronics over the Legend Classics. The neck is thinner than the Rebops and Euros. I think the quality is higher than Ibanex.

I'm dying on the inside looking for a new bass, I've been playing an ESP LTD B-50 for the last 5 years, think its time to upgrade. All I'm concerned with is:

  • Fast thin neck (VERY important the way I'm playing at the moment).
  • Access past the 17th fret is essential.
  • And good reliability as I'm gigging every second day.

Obviously I want a big durty growl out of her aswell :P

The style of music I'd be playing is anything from QOTSA, Placebo, Death from Above, Cure, Electro and Electronica.

So far my eyes have strayed across and ESP LTD B-4E, and Ibanez BTB670, a Cort B4 SP LTD and a Cort T74. Any other suggestions or opinions on what I've been looking at?

I'd really appreciate your help on this as I'm tearing my hair out at this stage...

You're describing a Carvin, FYI :smug:
