Which bass should I get next?

[xlows]

I'm getting a new bass and am seeking the advice of all you lovely people. I'm playing mostly rock, jazz & funk and the budget is around $1000.

What other basses do you already have?

 

[Volk]

Rick is a bit over 1000, but I'd say it's the best out of the lot, if it were me I'd stick with the Stingray though

 

[BurningSkies]

I'd definitely look at the MIA Fenders and also scope around here for a good deal on an older Fender, if you can come across one...in that price range for a vintage fender you're probably looking at something with a fair amount of abuse or some aftermarket modding, none of which would be a problem if you're looking for a player bass not a collector bass.

I voted Rickenbacker, but if you can lay your hands on a cheap used Kubicki...

 

[T. B. Player]

Check out a Warwick, Yamaha and Spector. If you've got an MM and you get a Precision, you may find the tones and playablity are very similar. Depending on your rig, you may get some real variety from a Warwick.

Voice of wisdom. I back it up.

i voted rick but didnt read what you play. keep your ray

 

[Thunderbird91]

Why do you want a change?

 

[The BurgerMeister]

i voted fender jazz, because it's the most versatile of the bunch you've got up there.
next would probably be a rick.

Rock, jazz & funk? Can't lose with a Fender P

 

[mobax]

Since you have a MM, I would say MIA Jazz.

 

[markjazzbassist]

fender jazz or precision or musicman stingray.

Get a used Pedulla Rapture with JJ or PJ pickups. You can get them for about $800 - $1200 and they are amazing! Like a jazz, but much better in terms of tone and playablility. Plus, hand made from start to finish
