[size="4"]Thanks guys don't think i will be trying a 5 string just yet i am nowhere near close to mastering a 4 string yet and all the Fenders I have seen seem way out of my price range and from what I have seen online alot of people seem to think the MIM Fenders are poorly made I dont know if this is true? but the MTD seems to do what I want for what seems a fair price.I would like to try one really but nowhere local to me stocks them . Also I don't mind trying the second hand route don't really know what to go for make wise but I specifically want a P bass Im looking for that rocky twangy sound.[/size]

[size=5]Hi all I am trying to save up for a good type p bass as my thunderbird isnt really giving me the sound I want just wondered if you could tell me what you think to this [/size][url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MTD_CRB_4_BLK.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MTD_CRB_4_BLK.html[/url] [size=5]or wether you have any better suggestions? thanks in advance[/size]

They can be very good A rock bass might refer to a cheaper version of a Warwick made in china rather than Germany [/quote] Ah I see thanks mr Geek god the world of Bass is confusing lol

[size=5]Hi all[/size] [size="4"]​After a lot of googling Im still confused with different bass types I know about P basses and jazz basses and the difference between active and passive but I dont understand all the diffrences for example whats the diffrence between a Fender and Fender Squire and what do people usally mean when they call a Bass a rock bass I know its obviously for rock music but what category does it really fit into is it a jazz bass or a p bass? I hope this question does not seem silly I just wondered being a bass noob.[/size] [size="4"]Many thanks in advance [/size]

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1367150941' post='2061716'] David Ellefson's model sold by Jackson is identical to the one he plays, apparently, and comes at a price. Jackson also sell a more affordable model based on his specs. (That's what Ellefson said at the London Bass Guitar Show.) I was suitably impressed and GASsing. [/quote] Yeah I saw that cool bass he also had a sig peavey zodiac I think and that was about £300 if I am correct bet it wasn't like the one he played live tho.

[size=5]Some interesting answers cheers lads and yes ray against the machine that attitude bass looks really nice [/size]

[size="4"]Hi all I don't know lots about basses in general but after looking online at various basses I started wondering if signature guitars were a rip off for example I saw a Flea bass on Ebay and it was 200 odd pounds new now in the advert it says the same bass as Flea uses but I cant see him using a £200 bass I might be wrong and also I saw a Steve Harris Fender it pretty much seemed the same as most other Fenders in that category except it was about 500 quid dearer so in a nutshell are star endorsed basses a rip off or are they really the same basses the artists use?[/size]

[size=5]Wow four grand thats a serious amount of money.[/size]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and I might just be shouting you roger2611 thanks all
