Fender vs Stingray vs G&L
- Thread starter AudioOUTRAGE
- Start date
The guy from Audioslave plays a Fender Jazz. G&L has a passive jazz with vintage pickups in case you prefer a flatter radius and massive bridge.
There are so many basses out there that it gets crazy. I started using a JV MIJ vintage P Bass, then i bought a stingray and i loved it. The active sound just got me and it felt way smoother to play. Next came along a status graphite bass 5 string. This is just in 2 years. Each week im attracted to each bass and jamming with the band to hear and feel how each bass goes with band. Either fender, stingray or G&L are 3 different and all good camps. Do a search on this forum as there is a lot of info to read to get ideas for yourself which bass may suit you.
Its a fun adventure trying out the different basses. Pick up different basses each time you go to a store to get a feel.

not an easy choice, me i don't like the US fender anymore..no feeling....floppy construction...etc... Try the Japanese Geddy Lee!! surprising.... good sound and the neck feel like and old one. but replace the tuners
G&L have a good JB-2 but, feal more la que p-bass than a Jbass.
Tim C. have played a lot of stingray during the RATM era ... you will have that sound and a ''solid'' bass. almost perfect construction but you are stuck to ''one'' sound
take care and good sound

I just picked up an used Musicman Sterling, and on the 2 gigs I used this bass for over the weekend, that bass provided me with quite a versatile palate of sounds. With the 3 band active preamp, you can dial in boat loads of sounds. I'm not sure where those basses get the "one trick pony" label. In fact, if you want to be stuck with "one sound," buy a P bass--it doesn't much simpler than that. Your tonal variety is as far as your one tone knob and your technique can take you.
