Hey! I'm a bassist from Colombia and after consulting many times this forum, I decided to be part of it and take a username and all. I currently use a cheap Ibanez SDGR SRX 400 and, with it, I've recorded a couple of albums and travelled quite a bit. Next year I hope I can get a new one (I'm hoping it's a Bongo 5 or a Big Al 5 SSS). So... what do you say?
I say "Welcome"! There's plenty of information here to help choose a new bass. But you owe it to yourself to try out a few before deciding, Have fun!
Welcome aboard! I say you cannot go wrong with EBMM. I had a Bongo, it was solid, and I am currently on the lookout for a Big Al (but I am hoping to trade for one and not buy one.)
This is the thing: I play in a Hip-Hop/Reggae band that uses a lot of world music. The Bongo (wich is my main goal) or the Big Al can cover that kind of sounds? I know that the Bongo has a lot of power and a "particular" sound, but I can't play and try one in my city because they don't sell them here.
