how to find a good bass guitar?
what are some specific things i should be looking for when interested in buying a bass guitar, is a jazz bass appropriate for slapping and picking… im not in a band i just love to play the bass on my free time and i just broke my guitar so i need a new one which was givin to me.
a jazz bass is appropriate for slapping and picking…well really no bass is appropriate for picking but you know what i mean. A jazz bass will sound great with slapping, areally thin and cutting tone, which won’t fit the picking sound so well. a Precision bass is great for picking, and also has a great slapping tone if you eq your amp right. my recomendation would be the fender aerodyne p bass. It has both a precision and jazz pickup. Fender gave me one before it came out so i could test it for them, and it’s really a piece of magic. Also, the American Jazz and Precision bass have this thing called S-1 switching, that essentially can make a jazz bass sound like a precision bass and vice versa, however thats a bit costly. Jazz basses are more comfortable to play.
Schecter is another great band for bass, great for slapping and fingerplay, though pick work takes a bit of eq’ing. Schecter basses will give you more than what you pay for, and they are excellent.
Epiphone makes pretty good basses, if a bit overpriced. i have a 2001 Epiphone flying V bass, and It sounds decent next to my 82 gibson flying v bass. I never had the heart to sell the epiphone, even after getting the gibson, as it had been so good to me. Slapping is not epiphones strong point, but pick work is amazing
Ibanez makes great basses as well, great for the price.
You want to take into consideration tone, action (the tension and looseness of the strings, as well as their distance from the fingerboard), comfort (how the guitar fits to your body), and overall playability. does the guitar feel comfy when you play it? Is the neck the right size?
Precision basses have slimmer necks more for moving around, jazz basses have fat necks for increased tone in walking lines.
hope this helps, email me with questions
edit: i almost forgot about weight, do you play standing up or sitting down? how long do you play? will you be able to play this bass as long as you do standing up, or is it too heavy?
