I have been around quite a few shops last week end and yesterday I made my decision: I got an Ovation Magnum 4, like this one (mine is in slightly worse conditions, but it's just aesthetic): http://www.ovationgallery.com/pagebassmagnum.htm It wasn't within my budget, but after having tried many basses I had an incredibly good feeling about that one. If feels more comfortable than any other I 've tried any and to my unexperienced ears it sounds awesome, especially for that I'd like to play (reggae)!

[quote name='Immo' timestamp='1325248144' post='1481272'] You'd probably need a lot of thump, so, from my perspective, Squier Vintage Modified 70's TB will be great. [/quote] Could you please explain to a newbie what do you mean by "a lot of thump?

Thanks a lot!

Hi folks Many of you may have read 1000 posts like this one, so please be merciful! I just joined this forum because I want to learn playing bass guitar. In my life I have played other instruments (electric guitar, computer/sampler music and more than enything else african percussions)... but bass guitar has always been in my dreams. I haven't read all the posts on this topic, but I have already read loads of good advices.... As I am just starting and I will not be playing live for a long time, at this stage I'm not that fussed about the amp (I think I just need something to plug some earphones in for the moment), but I'd like to make a kind of shortlist of bass guitars to try/buy. The question is: Does anybody have some particular bass guitar for [u][b]reggae and dub[/b][/u] to recommend? That's what I want to play. My budget is up to £300 (preferably much less, of course), and I don't mind 2nd hand at all I'd like to play roots reggae and 60s / 70s dub (Robbie Shakespeare is of course one of my favs) Thanks a lot!
