And i need your help between this to basses that best suite that kind of genre [b]Squier vintage modified jazz bass 70's and Ibanez SR300 , [/b]i like Squier more and i listened to both of them on videos but the sounds is of course different on some videos. And here is the problem , i am left-handed and i can try right-handed Squier and i will because it's the same and order a lefty but i might not try Ibanez because they don't have it , you can just order him and that's my problem so help if you can...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Why not go for a schecter diamond series instead ? Used to have a 5 string, gold hardware in cherry/ black.( can also get them in amber). A bit cheaper , and certainly good for metal !

Chiliwailer Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'd personally avoid jazz bass or single coil pickups in a cheaper bass when you're looking to play rock as they can sound too thin for that style IMO. I know many rock pro's use them, but they have kick ass amps and expensive basses. Go for humbuckers I reckon as they sound fuller, it'll be hard to go wrong with Ibanez for that stuff.

DorsetBlue Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 My experience of trying the natural VM Jazz is that it is a weighty instrument (you can make your mind up when you try the R/H one). SR300s get good opinions, as do the Squiers. If you want extra grunt on the squier, you can do a Series wiring mod or buy gruntier pickups (or get a Behringer BDI21). Which one do you prefer the look of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I prefer the Squier look , and nicer to me because of the wood but the main thing to me is the sound , so i will see to test both bases in couple of days. But any bass is better than my current for this music , i have Jolana Alexis super 2 ,that's semi-hallow body from 1972 hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
