If you had 2 grand....

[NicholasF]

I would get a tricked out Carvin B40, spending about 1300, then a used 8x10

 

[Stranger Danger]

Modulus or Rickenbacker

 

[Dave W]

I'd go for an MIA P bass and an MIA J bass. Perhaps I'd just go for an AVRI P...

 

[funk generator]

Got me another Nordstrand. Carey makes some of the best IMO

 

[jim777]

I would get a Carvin Bunny Brunel BB76 and swap Bassculture.de soapbars and an East preamp into it. I may just do it anyway, whether someone gives me 2 grand or not

 

[SteveC]

Used Roscoe.

 

[LowEZ]

EBMM Sterling 5HH. Love Sterlings, need a 5.

 

[Relayer71]

I would get an Ibanez Prestige SR4000E for $1500 and a used Fender Jazz.

OR

An Ibanez SR600 for $600 and a tricked out Carvin SB4000 ($?).

OR

A Euro Spector.

Oh hell, I don't know.

 

[jim777]

Used Roscoe.

Solid choice

If you had 2 grand to spend on a bass, what bass would it be and why?

If it was USD I'd wait a bit and save up. If it was GBP I'd have something made.

 

[Gord_oh]

id get a 1973 Fender Jazz to go with my 1973 Fender Precision.

 

[matti777]

I would put it towards a refin pre-CBS jazz. It might cover half

 

[dustinfennessey]

Modulus because they are second to none

 

[whitespike]

A vintage P bass. As vintage as I could get for 2K.

 

[Koog]

Drake Custom.

I currently own four 4 string Drakes, all different with different voices, and Andrew is now building me my first fiver. It will be finished this week. It is the build that has been featured in the Luthier's Corner forum on this site.

Andrew does awesome work....he's a player and knows what players look for, but always looking for more player input. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is superb and he's just great to work with.

Drake gets my endorsement every time.

Koog.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

I would get a really nice Carvin B50 and then that 2x10 Carvin Mini amp. I would probably still have $500 or $600 left over!

 

[LeoSash]

Probably a high end ibanez 6er or a really good bass with P/J pickups

Any leftover money would be put into getting a better amp. (Orange Bass or MarkBass)

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I'd hold out and wait for the right used bass. There are some great deals out there if you're patient.

 

[deeptubes]

I'd get a walnut Precision Elite II. I already own a green one. They play, sound, and look amazing! I suspect that I will own quite a few P Elites when I meet my maker.

Jam on, brothers!

 

[the wako kid]

warmoth jazz bass made entirely of purple heart wood ,quarter pounder pickups,and then spend the rest buying cheap rondo basses.
