Thinking about a new bass after 4 months, need some advice

[Skyler White]

Hi everyone,
I’m Skyler and pretty new here. I’ve been playing a Squier Classic Vibe ’60s Jazz Bass for about 4 months now. It’s been great for learning and practicing, but lately I’ve been thinking about upgrading to something a bit higher-end.

For those of you who have more experience, what would you recommend as a good next step? I’m open to different brands and models, but I’d like something versatile enough for both practice and gigging in the near future.

Any suggestions or experiences you can share would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Skyler

What don't you like about your current bass? What's your budget? What amp are you using?
