While the Squire Jazz is a pretty good bass, the G&L has enough upgrades with the block inlays, the upgraded bridge and the high output pickups to more than make it worth the price difference. To me the Squire is a great modding platform for those who want to change things and make it their own. The G&L seems more like it is better from the get go to the point that you would not have to upgrade things. There seems to be a similar thing going on with the P style basses but without the inlay upgrades. Having said that, the 6 bolt system on the neck makes the G&L pretty tour ready - you know the neck is going to break before those bolts ever get ripped out.

I know he had to sign a 10 years non-compete contract when he sold Fender to CBS in 1965 and that is why he stayed in the background when Musicman started building amps but after 1975 he was free to do whatever he wanted. By the way... he sold Fender for $13 million which is the equivalent of $107.5 million today.

Only tone off with a P Bass? Surely, you jest! My '77 fretless maple blank plank P Bass just recoiled in horror at the thought that it's a one-trick pony. For you P Bass players out there who think a P only does tone rolled off, explore the full tonal palette. Play behind the pickup. Play in front of it. Stick foam under the strings at the bridge. Take it out. On a fretless, explore fretting with the pads of your fingers and then compare with the fingertips proper. There are a zillion tones to be had in that OG.

Guitars/basses of the SAME model often vary by as much as a pound and a half (check Sweetwater). How does he not know this???

I got an Epiphone Thunderbird in the same price range when I jumped into bass from guitar. If you like that style, they're worth checking out, too. The one I got has been a phenomenal bass for me, and the one issue I ever had with it, I called Epiphone, and they emailed me an overnight prepaid shipping label, repaired it, and overnighted it back to me, so I was without it for less than 72 hours. I also have an LTD short scale 5-string that was only about $250 that's absolutely killer. The 34" scale might be an easier transition from guitar. That bass has a P-Bass style pickup.
@rolux48534 жыл бұрын
If you want classic bass tone do not get an Thunderbird or something with such type of pickups! Stick with the classic Jazz and Precision Basses! The squier classic vibe series is great, there is nothing to complain about them. I would prefer them over a Mexican fender any day, just because of the value to money ratio. If you just want to try out Bass without paying to much you could also look into Harley Benton if your in Europe. They are extremely cheap and work great. I don’t get what the dude above me means with the 34“ scale, because that’s the traditional electric bass scale. I think he means something shorter than 34“ which would be considered shortscale. In my opinion shortscale isn’t easier to play than 34“, it’s just different. So I strongly advice against any other than the traditional Fender Style basses, if you’re not into some kind of extreme music.
