What would you buy with $$1600

[matty4string]

A Kiesel custom.

Doubtful for 1600 unless it's stock

 

[LaklandLaksNADA]

Get a Lakland!

But then again, im partial to anything that's not fender

 

[rtav]

If it were me, I'd buy a BB76F Carvin fretless 6 or a Ric 4001.

 

[Kevan Campbell]

I'd vote a used Spector or Warwick with humbuckers/soapbars, lots of good deals on Reverb, TB Classifieds, etc. with the leftover cash I'd suggest a Macallen 15yr Scotch and a nice cigar.

 

[QweziRider]

Woah, did Ricks go up in price over the last couple years?

Nope, you can still find them between $1,400 and $1,600 if you shop around.

 

[bassliner50]

Vanguard Mutual Funds.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

4003s in JetGlo.

 

[punchdrunk]

Perusing the talkbass classifieds can yield some redic good basses. Just take you time and keep checking in a few times daily. You'll end up with a fantastic deal.

I can get what I would like for that amount. YMMV.

I recently was awarded a check for 2k. I'm looking to buy a new bass but I'm not sure what I want to get. I love stingrays,Fender basses of all kinds. And dingwall is cool I'm open to many other brands aswell. I currently own an American pro jazz bass in sonic blue. I really want somthing that is going to cut through a mix well and bring the thunder. I'm not sure if I should buy new or used. Vintage or modern. What would you do?

RIC 4004 since I have a 4003s

 

[Dark Horse]

A chicken sandwich , a six pack of beer, an oil change and tune-up, a nice dinner for my girl, and some plane tickets to see my family.

Whatever's left over would go to gear.

I say go non Fender.

Ric 4003 can be had for around $1400 in many places with discount coupons. I got mine last year for a little less than that.

Since you like Fenders and Musicmans I'd suggest also checking out a Caprice. It is definitely IMO the best of both worlds. I just got me one.

I'd say Ric, Bongo, or Caprice. Not necessarily in that order. Bongo and Ric bring more thunder than the Caprice, but the Caprice is the sweetest playing bass I ever owned. Hands down.
