thanks for the advice about the strap. i'll go back to the shop and try it with one. im in huddersfield for uni but going back to london soon. But i doubt i'll need to find any bass players when i can just play them in the shop

hey guys. just tried out the eb-3 and i found it a bit too large for me. However, I also tried the epi thunderbird bass and it feels and sounds amazing. ?I think I might go for that

I was just looking at that. anyone with any experience know if its any good for picked garage rock / grungey sounds

cheers for all the replies guys. I'm gonna look at everything that's been suggested ^

also on a side note to Burns-bass which squiers are you talking about? im a big fan of the brand (all my guitars are squier jags and jazzmasters) although i havent looked at their basses much

Hey guys.

I've been a guitarist for about 5 years and I record my own music at university. I'm currently considering buying an affordable bass for my recordings. Generally im looking for a versatile bass but with a nice mid-range growl that sounds good with some drive
Lou Barlow's bass here youtube.com/watch?v=emaRhzJgJP8 at around 2:34 shows what im talking about pretty well. I'm aware that Lou plays a really expensive Rickenbacker 4001 or 4003 so getting that tone is probably not entirely possible but I'm just using that as a guide.
I also like the idea of a short scale bass such as the Epiphone EB 0 or Squier Jag bass. My budget is probably around £300.

Any suggestions??

Thanks
