So recently I had my Ibanez GSR200 set-up by a luthier friend of mine. As he was fairly busy with things and would have my bass for a week or so, he gave me a loaner so I wouldn't be without.
The bass was a build of his, a reproduction of a '66 Fender Jazz Bass, with humbuckers, an ash body and the pickup guards that came on the '66 (Which I found were in the way, didn't really like them).
I got my bass back last night and it feels good to have it back...I am again in my comfort zone. I have been playing bass for roughly 5 months now and the Ibanez has been great to me but after using the reproduction Fender Jazz bass, I immediately notice that the Ibanez CANNOT produce the long lasting, warm tone that the Jazz can.
I am hesitant to run out and buy another bass as the whole thing is still fairly new to me but when the time comes....
What should I be looking at?
I play a little bit of everything, no specific genre and I won't have a fortune to spend on one most likely, no more then $1000.
How long till you TBers moved from your first bass?
Sorry for the novel
Thanks
