I'm a very green bass player -- 6 months. My wife bought me a Fender knock off (a "Crescent") for Xmas and I've been playing the heck out of it, learning the ropes, and really enjoy playing. I've upgraded my amp to a Hartke B900 and am thinking about taking the next step towards a new guitar.
I've played 3 that I like.
Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass -- $300 -- I understand Squier is Fender's lower end, but this thing was pretty, felt good, played very easily and sounded decent in the store. Any feeback on this would be great.
Schecter -- I've liked almost any Schecter bass I've played. Prices ranged from about $450 -- $650
Soundgear by Ibanez -- This thing was awesome but also priced around $800.
Obviously, the $300 Squier was appealing from a price standpoint. I'm not looking to go pro but I want a guitar that will last a while. The Schecter and Soundgear models were sweet, but is the price diffrerence worth it?
Also, my current guitar is a P-bass. These three were jazz basses. Being fairly green, can someone run me through the plusses/minuses of one to the other?
I appreciate your help.
