2022年5月18日 · "cheap" is a relative term. If cheap means inexpensive, then my early 2000s MIM Fretless Fender jazz was $299. That's an excellent bass for the money. My 1992 MIJ 50s P bass (PB57) was under 7 bills out the door when I bought it last year. That's a good bass for the money. My 2019 Geddy Lee (MIM) was under 7 bills. Again, great bass for the money.

2024年12月17日 · I'm thinking about Harley Benton MV-4PJ ( MV-4PJ Daphne Blue - Harley Benton), Squier Sonic or Affinity P Bass (Sonic apparently has more of a Jazz bass feel but that light color maple neck looks so cheap to me). Or if you could recommend anything else.

2018年4月13日 · Playing bars, dives, State Fairs, beerfests, no one knows the difference between a $300 Hofner Ignition bass or a $2800 Hofner German made bass. Nor do they care. Sound? Not that different, honestly. The difference there is gets lost once drums, electric guitar, vocals, PA, and crowd noise are factored in. Replace bass with amp and it's the ...

2015年12月1日 · If you have started playing bass from a young age 12-14 you will probably feel after 1-2 years that you need a new bass. So then you would start searching for a value-for-money or a really good bass guitar. But if you are someone like me who doesnt want leave his first bass you will consider...

2024年4月10日 · I have also fallen victim to this, as in less than a year of playing I have already acquired 3 basses. 2 of those basses have costed me either less than or close to $100, with my main bass being ~$400 (usually considered a low to mid-range bass). I play every bass pretty regularly (at least once a week), and keep them pretty well set up.

2022年4月30日 · The JB-75 is a lovely guitar - sounds beautiful and is nicely built and you can't fault the neck or frets, I have one. But be aware this beast weighs in at 12.8 - 13lbs it's very heavy so bear this in mind. For reference, fender jazzes usually weigh in at …

2024年8月20日 · Modding a decent bass in good shape is fun, like a treasure hunt, but does nothing to increase the resale value of the bass, if that's a factor, or, in most cases, make a big differenxe in playability or tone. When I was a teenage bassist (1970's), the "cheap" basses were crap, just unplayable junk.

2005年5月3日 · I’m looking to buy an inexpensive Fender-type body for a project. I’ve seen unfinished bodies on EBay and Reverb, advertised as being made from woods like Okoume, Alder and Ash, for prices ranging from $45-$129 Does anyone have any experience with these? Opinions? Thanks!

2020年6月4日 · If there are more cheap parts than good ones or the most important/integral parts are the weak link that means it isn't worth the trouble. If the bridge is kind of cheesy, the pickup is rancid and the tuners are junk but the neck is great, the …
