ok...i have been playing for i dunno a bit less then a year now and have made great progress and looking forward to upgrade to a new bass. right now i have a 91(i think) ibanez, i have no clue what series it is. but my old bass isn't the point... anyone know some good basses for playing a funk/rock style of playing for a maximum price of $250. it would be greatly apreciated if i could get some suggestions. please and thank you. ******edit****** i can go up to $300 but perfer not too...bit low on money atm
Unless your current bass is an absolute piece of junk I doubt you'll be 'upgrading' much by getting a new one with a max price of $250, unless you find a great deal on a great used bass. Maybe your current bass is the point. Why not continue to use it?
About the best thing in that price range (or very close, at $275-ish) is the Squier Vintage Modified Jazz. Can you post a pic of your Ibanez so we can ID it?
That is exactly what I would recommend......or you can get the vintage modified Precision if you like that sound....or the fretless.....or the Tele-bass.....alot of options in the $275 range with these.....I have played all but the Tele and they sound and feel good for the money.....was heavily contemplating the fretless myself....
see..i got it for free from 1 of my friends friends that stopped playing so he just gave it to me.. i have realized that it really doesnt work good for me w/ the style of music that i play the strings are to close to each other and it just doenst have a good sound to it.. i love jazz and P basses ill get a pic up asap
Unless what you have now is a total POS then I would reccomend hanging on to it and saving a little more cash. If that doesn't float your boat how about a Yahmaha RBX170? It is a P/J setup and for the money, I don't really think that you can do better. $150-$179 new. Ox.
