Going shopping with $1400

[MoeTown1986]

Scratch buying two squiers. If you have the money, get one american jazz. The front pickup solo'd will get you close enough to a P sound.

With that kind of store credit I would get a Nate Mendel or Roger Waters P bass. Or a high end Ibanez Talman, which would have a PJ configuration.

The rest would be spent on pedals or cabinets.

Get a nice mid priced bass and a nice tone shaping preamp like a darkglass pedal

If you like short scale basses, the Invalid Link Removed is a great one for the money.

I just tried this and it's an awesome bass. The 3 way selector for the pickups is great.

I'd buy a G&L Kiloton.

Headed to GC (I know). Have about $1400 in store credit.

I'm thinking about picking up a Squier Classic Vibe 70's P-Bass and a Vintage Modified Jazz Bass.

I'm not opposed to something higher end.

What would you buy with $1400?

One nice bass

Or a few budget basses $400-500

Thanks

If you're set on basses, and GC takes store credit for used gear - I'd go with a used Lakland DJ and 44-64 so you could get two amazing quality basses with different tones. Could also go with two used Mexican Fender basses (J and P).

If they don't take store credit for used gear, I'd go with a Fender Jazz and use the rest to buy miscellaneous other things like cables, straps, stands, etc...if you have any needs there.
