It's time for a NBD!

Mogwaii · 01-23-2008, 09:25 AM

Hey guys, I recently came into acquisition of a Js100 guitar, which after I got, I decided that it was time for a new bass rather than a new guitar. I have an old El Degas 4-string p-bass which I love dearly but I will need something more reliable and sturdy for playing live and I'll need something with more versitility. I was hoping you guys could help me choose a new bass because I'm so indecisive. My genre of music is jazz inspired atmospheric music. Think Mogwai or Sigur Ros. Heres a list within my budget ($500CDN)

Squier Vintage Modified '70s Jazz Bass
Squier Vintage Modified 5-string Jazz Bass
Squier Vintage Modified Fretless
Ibanez ATK300
OLP MM3
OLP MM22
Epiphone EB-3

OLP MM3

darren · 01-23-2008, 11:02 AM

Personally, i'd go for a Squier Deluxe Jazz Bass V or an OLP MM32.

Ruins · 01-23-2008, 12:15 PM

hmm i am giving third opinion and its different from all the others so far
i would say Ibanez atk great basses with lots of tonal options and its also has fat neck like fender/squier

Lynk · 01-23-2008, 04:41 PM

Erm, I don't think there is such a thing as a Squier VM 5 String Jazz. Although I could be wrong.

I would suggest the ATK out of those options though.

Ishan · 01-25-2008, 03:36 AM

The ATK is best value for the money, but get the ATK305, seriously...

If you can find an OLP Tony Levin model, they're absolutely amazing. They look great, sound awesome, and have a really good set of active elecrtonics... and they're cheap too!

Have you tried looking at rondo music online?

They have some nice stuffs. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance only hides the truth. And the longer that truth has to hide, the more it stings when it makes itself known.
