Bass Guitars

[ross410]

Hi, hope someone can help me. I play bass in a pretty good indie rock band who have just been signed, and i've decided to buy a new guitar. Ive seen hundreds of basses in the shops and none have caught my eye. Can anybody suggest a good sounding and looking bass for under 1000 pounds? Right now i play and Ibanez EDB 600, but im more into the look of fender precisions and music man stingrays, etc.

Any help welcomed, thanks.

What about the Fender Jazz - a good workmanlike instrument, does the job, classic lines.

You really can't go wrong with a Fender Jazz or Precision, and a decent second hand one will be far better than a new other brand.

That said, a decent Aria Pro 11, like the Integra, has a really decent rock sound too, at a fraction of the price.

for what it's worth, i worked in guitar shops fo a fair while, still teach and play guitar and bass, and i never played a bass as nice as the music man.

The first bass guitar ever was the Fender Precision. The first and the best!

Thanks for those answers guys, all really helpful, i've had a look around and i think i'm going to get a precision.

Thanks.
