Ey boys.
I've been thinking of buying a new bass, but I wanted to see what you guys think are some great basses.
Good bass guitars
Joshua Cox
Asher Morales
one that is functional
Hunter Gutierrez
>at is functiona
yeah
Jace Young
Buy the Paul McCartney bass
Michael Nguyen
>y the Paul McCa
yeah
Colton Lewis
Don't buy the fucking beatle bass. A decent all-round professional bass would be the Fender Dimension series. Also with 5 strings. A Hofner looks nice but sounds like lo-fi garbage
Parker Jenkins
one that has four strings
Nicholas Morgan

yeah
Justin Thompson
No fifth string necessary on a bass. If you cant do it with four strings, play drums.
Nolan Lopez
I have a guitar that looks exactly like this bass. Probabbly a bootleg.
Ryder Ross
Check out Fender basses jazz, precision, PJ they all do the job, it's a matter of your preference. Also check out some 5 stringers, that low B opens up a lot of possibilities.
James Wilson
>>at is functiona
>yeah
no
Nicholas Edwards
Get a p or a j and then just focus on doing a good job.
Joseph Lewis
Get a P-Bass, of course.
Tyler Bailey
yes but the good one
Jaxon Johnson
Get a fretless bass. They're too much fun
Luis Wilson
if you don't get a p bass you are a confirmed homo
Ian James
bassed
Daniel Hall
Don't buy a """""traditional""""" bass. Purposfully ignoring technical development should be left for guitarists. If it's still affordable, get a used Warwick.
Gabriel Cox
warwicks fucking suck
Ryan King
I've seen A LOT of shitty treatment of instruments over the years on this and other boards, but holy shit m8 you really went for the big guns, didn't you? Why the fuck would you even think of leaning your guitar with its fucking back of the neck agains any sort of edge? I guess you like avoidable dents Jesus Christ.
Mason Wilson
Get a Rickenbacker. All other basses are for faggots
Ryan Perry
Christ, that picture hurts my eyes to look at.
Michael Barnes
The best thing to do is to go to a music store and try everything you can. A price range would also be helpful
Levi Cook
Rickenbackers are a personal favorite but Schecter is a bit of an unsung hero in basses in my opinion. High quality shit for a low price as well and they really hold up
Austin Green
Yo, haven't read the thread but I think my post has merit OP, so hope you see it!
Precision bass sort of started there, & Telecaster sort of started the Electric Revolution, so you should consider Precision Bass as a base model of sorts, excuse the accidental pun.
Secondly, the Firebird, while different scale & usually electronics to Telecasters in full spectrum & weight, are remarkably & reliably comfortable. The familiar wiring of the Thunderbird with its Neck Volume, Bridge Volume, & Master Tone knobs is a very sturdy instrument. If you have faith in your amplifier, your bass will do wonders with a simple proper string swap & set-up. Bolt-on is the Gold Standard so Gibson Thunderbird is niche dang-ass but it counts as a solid neck-thru at an underwhelming pricepoint for retailers. Such a beautiful piece. So if you want Diamond tier American bass, I say get a Gibson Thunderbird. Less 'boomy' than the SG-style ones with their neck pickup, but not quite out of natural Precision or Jazz realm.
Capiche?
& God Bless. This has been your neighbourhood Hashtagger, signing off!

>p.s. I never do this but Gold Standard includes Epiphone with its bolt-on construction. Don't shy away from underpriced basses. Vintage Peavey's are undervalued for their 'all in one place' design & etc. as well, but my studio bass is an Epiphone Thunderbird if you want to know my honest stance. Bless up.
