I just started playing bass about 6 months ago with a Squier P-Bass and I'm already kind of tired with the sound of it. I don't know if its the fact that its a Squier or if its just the fact that its a Precision model but it really feels like it lacks versatility. However things have been a lot better since I've gotten some brighter strings on it. I do fine with a 15 watt Peavey practice amp however, I don't know why you'd complain about it, I get a pretty good kick out of the fucker. I'm not about to play a show so I don't really need anything else and I'm fine jamming with my friends that have like real loving amps. (Obviously they don't crank it though)

What i would give to have a Jazz Bass though. drat I need money.

God lakland's site is addicting, I just went around trying every different genre with all the different settings for like 15 minutes

i think i should steal the riff they did for the "hard rock" sample

I've been banging on a Squier Vintage Modified P-Bass for a few years now, learning the ropes, and I give my full endorsement. Its a bit beat up now, I haven't treated it super well, and some of the pots and other electronics might need some work. But for the price its been fantastic.

I'm about ready to move on though, so I'm checking out some J-pick up arranged type basses

Loading in/out is the worst part of playing shows. I hate it so, so much.

Yesterday I carried this guy:


a few blocks because my buddy couldn't drive me back to my place

It was the cherry on top of getting a poor score in a stupid battle of the bands at a college bar, too.

I refuse to carry anything larger than a microcube without a trolley. I once schlepped a meager SWR LA-15 over five or six blocks and a bus ride, and my arms ached too much to play afterwards. :suicide:

I'm never moving anything again without wheels or like you said, a trolley. The BXR100 has handles but they are positioned oddly and are mostly useless

I still can't close my hands completely without pain

Well this rules, we were well-liked at the battle of the bands to get another gig this time we'll be :siren: paid :siren:

3 short years ago I bought my first bass. Now, with help from 3toes, warwick3s and many others in this thread I'm playing and singing, writing my own basslines and songs. Music owns, this thread owns.
