So normally I play 5 stringers but a friend has asked me to teach him bass so I think I need a 4 string so it’s easier to follow my finger positioning without the confusion of an extra string.
I'm now looking for an inexpensive bass of acceptable quality and I don’t fancy a Jazz, also I’m fussy about weight, too long playing ridiculously heavy guitars and carrying heavy amps!!
The long scale Jaguar is appealing but I wonder if the largish body makes it heavy, so has anyone any experience of them and does the P pick-up sound like a precision?
Other suggestions gratefully received.
