Over a year ago I took 3Toes and many others advice and got a GSR200 and besides a little buzzing on the e string on one fret, I have been happy with it and recommend it to anyone starting out.

3Toes you have never steered me wrong and I am looking to buy a second bass and some gear that I can use for gigging! I have narrowed my choices to this guy http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-SRX300-Electric-4String-Bass-Guitar?sku=519575 and http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-SR400QM-Soundgear-Electric-Bass?sku=511825 I am completely lost on amps though. I have a 15watt basic practice amp that leaves me wanting in almost all aspects. I play mostly punk and alternative so I am looking for something with a lot of punch. I love my gsr200 but it buzzes more than I would like and I feel like I have outgrown it if that makes sense. GetHardHero fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Jan 31, 2008 |

drat that was fast, I think I fixed the link. I am thinking 400-650 for the amp.

I think guitar center is just going to have to put up with me going there and loving around for an entire day. Every time that I have gone there it makes me angry because there is usually some douche shredding on the most expensive guitar there, some twelve year old prodigy playing the drums or bass and making me want to throttle him for his talent. I have played a few other brands and have always like the way an Ibanez feels. Thanks for the advice!

Ya I always felt a little sad that I got a passive gsr200. Does the pre-amp just give you extra control over the EQ or does it make it so the pick-ups are more sensitive. I have only ever played passive.

chords are rarely played on the bass, they sound muddy. Lots of arpeggios though. Bassmasta.net is a great tab site to get you playing some songs right off.

Those beginner kits usually have poor quality everything. I recommend finding a used Ibanez Gsr 200 and a decent practice amp. If you can try to find a gsr with active pick-ups.

Bass amp modeling is pretty decent. I run my bass into a line 6 and use the software that came with it. I barely use my amp anymore and when I do it is because I am too lazy to set up my computer. Ampeg has a program devoted to bass amp modeling, it is kinda fun to play with but I stick with the line 6.
