I can only play 1 bass for 6 months...!

I think it's down to 2. The jaguar and the P.

The jag has the fast jazz neck and a bunch of sounds but I haven't spent enough time with it to know what sounds.

The P has the classic sound and looks really cool. But I am just getting used to the huge neck. I feel like if don't take it it might set back my practice. But what if I take it and just don't get used to it? Then it's just frustrating!

Buy a Stingray in Ottawa

Ugh, no man! I just got the classic fender basses down, i dont wanna branch into another brand and start buying stingrays haha

3 basses is a bit much for me still

 

[mikeswals]

Yeah, buy a bass there.

I'd say try this since you have no band, and are going for work. I like to step away from music every now and then, so this would be a good chance. If you can't stand having no bass any longer then go buy one.

Ooohhh, Thats not gonna work Kick. I rented a room in a 2 bedroom flat, with some random girl. Well i told her i was bring a bass and wouldn't be loud, she told me its okay because shes bringing her drums lol

I'm pretty sure i need a bass in this situation, living 6 months with a drummer, and thats the only person i know in the city haha

So RW Precision or Jaguar?

No modding, no buying new gear ( I am saving for an Orange Terror Bass and SP212 iso cab)

 

[mikeswals]

Mmmmm I don't think I'd be working on my bass skills....


okay take the Jag

 

[parsons]

the Jag or P. In that order.

 

[FunkMetalBass]

Buy a new bass. Get a 6(or more)-string. You'll be so eager to play the bass that you wont have any choice but to hone in on your ERB skills, so your 6er wont go neglected.

You can thank me later.

I vote Jag, because textbook says it's the most versatile.. plus you are more comfortable with the other two, so if the jag doesn't work out and you're missing one, you'll know which of the two you should swap with it next trip home

The P has the classic sound and looks really cool. But I am just getting used to the huge neck. I feel like if don't take it it might set back my practice. But what if I take it and just don't get used to it? Then it's just frustrating!

This might actually be the best reason. You might find that you don't like P-bass necks no matter how much you try. In which case you can either sell your P-bass or buy a different neck for it.

You guys ever watch It Might Get Loud ? Jack white makes a comment about how he fights with his guitar and it's always a struggle but it feels so good at the end when he tames it.

That's why I bout the RW cause it was the biggest neck I could find on a 4 string. I kinda like the challenge. Lol

 

[SpitfireCWII]

Jaguar! its new, and who knows it could turn out to be your most favourited bass , just my .02

 

[Matvei]

My choices and reasons:

1) Road worn = ready for travels!

2) New bass = learning its intricacies without being able to go back to the known quantities makes for good learning.

--------------------------

3) Jazz = You know it by heart, leave it be, you'll love getting back to it.

+1.

I think I figured this out. I will be taking the precision. It's such a great sound, I have a set of nickels and chromes ready to string.

I noticed that if I'm leaving everything behind on this move the precision provides that taste of home.

The jag is new and unknown the precision is familiar and broken in. It's something I'm used to coming home too.

That's my reasoning here. Great sound feel look and it's comforting.
