You should of positioned the text boxes somewhere where it doesn’t impair what people are trying to see you do.

skyedos :

royx888 :
Hi i have found a easy way to learn Guitar
Guitarstut(.)com
BroodwarManiac :
A little note:why does he play pentatonic with only index and pinky? It’s easier to play it with index and ring! I just don!t understand this.
joleeee :
for that money, u should have bought a flat buddy
lilgmichael :
It has a great action?
Do they have fixed bridges? If not then its totally adjustable so that’s a totally invalid comment. I have played a couple of Fender basses (not many) and never any above £500 I think, but every one I’ve played sounded and played like an expensive shit.
Maybe its just against my preference but I wont argue for a big name if I don’t like their instrument(s).
groulxma :
I said this because, the jazz bass is a great all around bass. there is a reason fender has been making them for so long. its easy to play, has great action, and Im sure noone that has ever played one has had anything to complain about.
lilgmorris :
No
I’ve never played a Fender that i’ve liked but i have played cheaper basses that i’ve liked.
Its not as simple as that.
My Cort is good because i take care of it and i put in time to think about what amp setting and strings compliment it.
Get a bass you’re comfortable with that sounds good and focus on the look last
groulxma :
just buy a fucking jazz bass, is all you should of said.
lilgmichael :
I’ve had my £400 Cort sounding better than my £1,000 Warwick bass before. It’s set up perfectly to my liking with Roto Flatwound Jazz strings which compliment the bass perfectly.
I’m still trying different things with the Warwick.
Just be sure to try a lot of basses before you buy if you can. If you cant then ask for recommendations in a local music shop and have someone demonstrate their stock.
Then find it cheaper online lol
Sorry for the long read
lilgmichael :
I suggest that you get to a good standard for a beginner / average player before you buy your second bass
If you can make a piece of shit sound good then imagine what you can make a piece of gold sound like
But still remember, you can polish a piece of shit …but its still a piece of shit.
Recommended basses – Ibanez, Epiphone (NOT THE THUNDERBIRD), Cort, Fender, OCCASIONALLY Yamaha…
They’ll all be fine for cheap basses.
lilgmichael :
I dont know if it’ll help now but
My first bass was a Jim Deacon (NEVER RECOMMENDED) that cost £109
My second was a Cort C4 Special edition that cost £400
my current is a Warwick STD5 Corvette Ash which is worth about £1,000 (Depends where you look)
I’d say for your first bass, if you know nothing on bass yet then no more than £200
if you know things already but are still just starting then no more than £300.
rushingspirit28 :
@britishman2 as did i, however it isn’t my first.
rushingspirit28 :
@818KLOWNER around $300
britishman2 :
@818KLOWNER
i’ve bought an epiphone thunderbird goth and i’ve spent 250 euros (soemthing like 300 dollars)
Braulioiscool :
yeah you should probably see if any one of your friends is selling an old bass orwhate ever, but probably around 200 and 150
nagger97 :
about 100 150
