Springywheel Posted Saturday at 22:39 Posted Saturday at 22:39 (edited) I have an opportunity to pick up a first gen classic vibe 60s p bass locally for more or less the same price as a sire p5/R. Which one should I shoot for? Edited Saturday at 22:40 by Springywheel Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted Saturday at 23:54 Posted Saturday at 23:54 The one you that makes you want to pick it up and play it. They are very different but both quality affordable basses. Try them and see which one speaks to you. 2 Quote
HeadlessBassist Posted yesterday at 06:49 Posted yesterday at 06:49 Like he said ☝️ Try both and see which you like the sound of best, and which feels best in your hands. Remember that you're obviously going to need to allow for the instrument not having your ideal setup or favourite strings, but you'll know which one it is. My generic personal preference would be the Sire. They offer a lot of quality bass for not much money, especially on the used market. 1 Quote
Springywheel Posted 22 hours ago Author Posted 22 hours ago (edited) I went for the classic vibe in the end ... Both great basses but the neck is lovely on the CV. It's very subtle but I prefer the sound and feel of a rosewood FB Edited 22 hours ago by Springywheel 1 Quote
