lee4 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've been offered a Samick P-bass as a spare by the guitar player in my band.It needs a set up and some new control knobs. I've hardly ever played a P-bass let alone a Samick and I was wondering if they are any good.It would replace my Warwick $$ that I am trying to sell(see my advert)and be used along side my Status Groove.

acidbass Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 They're entry level basses, so I'm not sure it'll be an adequate replacement for your $$, but if it sounds good and plays well, then why not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee4 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I know that this is an old(ish) one and has an EMG pup in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 No reason at all why it shouldn't be a good bass, Samick make some nice stuff. However as AB points out, I'm not sure that it's a step up from a $$. Try it out and see, a good bass doesn't have to cost the earth, I've played some gorgeous sub £300 basses that knock some £1000 ones into a cocked hat.

Tait Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 its not going to be as good as a $$ in a million years. if you want to replace it with a p bass get a decent quality fender or a sandberg or something. i havent played the samick, but im pretty sure that youd regret getting rid of you $$ for it.

Rayman Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Well that's true yes, but I recently played a $$ and didn't like it, a mate of mine has a (quite old now) Samick bass, and it's a lovely thing to play, so, it's all up to the player in the end.
