Fender VS Musicman

Why do you say that? Why do you say that the fender P and the Musicman Stingrays are the ONLY basses you can ever use for Punk? Just because every other punk band uses them? Don't let that fool you.

"The Sky is the Limit"

You can use any bass to create any kind of tone/sound you want it to create.

Don't just go in to the Fender P(or Stingray) with Ampeg just cuz everyone uses that.

Let your ear figure out what sound you want
Let your hands figure out what feel you would want

THEN pick your bass.. don't ever limit yourself to just one certain kind of bass

Hopefully helped you out a little, good luck!

What DM says... Let your ears be the judge... Don't just follow the pack... Strive for your own unique sound... Let your individuality come to the fore... I'm polishing my P-Bass as I type this

That´s right, don´t go with the mainstream.......
but if you want the classic puck bass sound, gtry a P-Bass

 

I would second (third?) DM's approach. The best way to decide is for yourself. Or you could be like me, and have both. I really got the P first, because Musicians Friend had a blowout on the American Standards awhile back, but I just recently got the Stingray. They are two pretty different basses, and you would just have to see for yourself on which would be the best. I also have Ampeg stuff, but it is just because I like the sound of the SVT3-pro. I don't buy things just because I see people playing it or because everyone else uses the certain brand of equipment, I use it because I like it. I hope I was helpful.
