My First Bass
I'm never happy with synthesized basslines, so I'm thinking about getting a bass (I play(hahaikillme) guitar so am happy to teach meself). Would only be used plugged into pooter, not live. Ain't got a lot of cash for this (is a bit of a luxury), so should I just pop to Argos or do you have any recommendations?
An OLP or Vintage stingray copy, on account of they're stingray copies. And a Behringer BDI21 for the recordings thereof.
You're with stupid. ▲
Bloody knew you'd be the first to reply.
My electric is a Vintage - been going now for about 15 years (granted tho its just given up the ghost). Guess a trip to Argos will do it after all!
(PS as our paths keep crossing, I'd value your input on the track I've posted in the Music Lounge sir!)

I should point out (if it's not obvious) that I have a serious Stingray fetish. I'm vaguely aware that other basses exist but don't see a point to them.

So deluded.
Status are the only basses. Everything else is just... a tribute.
The Reverend Lord Henry was not one of those new-fangled parsons who carry the principles of their vocation uncomfortably into private life.
No, I'm pretty sure it was MM who invented the Stingray.

Never, ever, ever.
Never.

Well, the first one probably wasn't maple/black/black, so you're right as far as that goes.

Not true: Fender Jazz. The perfect bass. The epitome of ęsthetic and ergonomic achievement.
Oh, and Statuses may be good basses but...they are so ugly!!!
Soz Paul!
