dollars that is

Your amp should actually be suplying more power than your speakers are rated for. You just never run it at full. But in order to get a more clean, crisp, pure, tone, you should have headroom so that you never top out.

Ok im off to bed I have absolutely horrible acid reflux. nite mx

It's called heart burn. All these **** pharmecutical companies give things like 'heart burn' this horrible sounding name like 'ACID REFLUX DISEASE' meanwhile we still call AIDS, AIDS, rather than 'turning your insides to liquid and killing you over the years with a slow painful death' disease.

Wow.
How much is that gonna cost you?

Mmm P-basses are sexy.

/me hates people who hate fender :angry:

The SR506 is nice though, I'd love to defret it.

Paul, about 600 USD.

Wow thats like £350.
That seems like a really good deal.

yep about 600,

^ i have 712 dollars in my pocket right now....well not my pocket, but you understand, but some of that is for text books, then i will get my bass. and i still need a 100 watt amp. to jam with my new band.. oi, im gonna need that job in a few weeks.

night kids.

I have £69 :(
I need to buy far too much stuff with that.

i feel yah, i gotta strech this 712 into 1400, anyway night :sleep:

I'm sort of lucky; sometime in the next 2-3 weeks I'm hopefully getting a Roland DB-500. (about 400 USD)

Then, (I'm 13 and going into 8th grade this year) I'm graduating and getting confirmed in the Catholic church (it looks as though it'll pay off :p), so I'll be getting more money than usual.

I get 60 USD a week (I babysit a lot), plus the usual birthday and Christmas.

By this time next year I hope to have a Conklin GT-7 and either an Ibanez SR-506 OR a fretless Conklin GT-7, as well as a ton of gear (including, but not limited to: a compressor, 31 band EQ, multiple effects, leather strap, and more).

I really need a job.
Its been a difficult time to get one because I only just turned 16 in like 3 weeks ago.
I was on holiday and now theres only 2 weeks before I go back to school.
I should probably try and get a weekend job but if not then I might do the Christmas post which pays about £5 an hour for 2 weeks.
I get about £20 a month i guess.
I never save for anything ever but I think is time to upgrade to a better bass.
Any ideas for around £300?

*doesn't know his exchange rates*

Tell me the exchange rate and I'll try to help you. :)

About 550 USD maybe?

550 USD; oh yeah, it's about 1.50 USD / Pound, yes? Or a bit more I think...whatever.

Anyhoo...How many strings/what genre of music do you play/favorite technique/etcetc.

:p

I currently play 4 strings but I was thinking about upgrading to 5 because I do a lot of slap stuff. I don't really stick to any particular genre of music.
I guess this isn't really helping.
I'm picky.

Well for sure, go out and try basses first.

550 USD - My and BFAGs love, the Ibanez SR500 series; the SR505 is a beauty to play. The SRX-705 (Ibanez again) is supposed to be crazy good as well. The Curbow 5 is supposed to be great (I own a Curbow 4 and some people here own a 5 or 6). For the most part, people tend to say to stay away from Fender 5ers.

I've heard, too, that if you're considering going from 4 to 5, you may as well go 6, so that you don't regret it later.

Either way, try them out at a store first.

I was ok with 6 for a while
but it just got slow and daunting now i went down to 4 its strange... I just feel at home on teh 4

Thanks for the advice.
My friend is just starting off and he wants to know a good starter bass for around £300. Theres a Fender P Standard Bass for £329 that he may be interested in... any ideas?

Good starter bass?

Try to go used. Used owns. MusicMan Stingrays sell for like 1200 USD new but you can get one used for 800-900 USD.

Search eBay and any place that sells used instruments.

I'm a fan of Fender Ps, myself, but if I got one, it'd be the American Deluxe (P + MM pickups).

Ok. Again thanks for the advice.

Either way, tell him to try stuff out first!

My opinions are exactly that: opinions.

For example, I like Warwick Thumbs. Some people hate them. Some people say the MusicMan Stingray is the best bass ever...I disagree and would rather have a Conklin GT-7.

You (and him) should try stuff out, as it's the only way to know what's best.
If you like the feel and the sound, who cares what anyone else thinks? :)

How long have you been playing?
