Yeah man I checked that out online, looks like a saucy bitch, nice one.
I want to get a bass for Christmas, but I know arse-all about them. Anyone got any advise what model or series to get? Around £300, I guess just one thats versatile.

russell man - the p-bass and the j-bass really arent the same... they sound totally different and feel different to play.

People always knock what they don't understand. Personally, I think fretless basses sound fantastic in the right hands.

As for Yamaha basses, the build quality is good, nice fast necks, but if you buy one I'd recommend a pickup change. The factory-fitted ones don't cut it.

exactly... i replied to morvens post but for some reason it isnt here anymore?

what i said was a brief history of the reason why fender made the first p-bass, explaining how the fretless double basses only sounded good with master players, which to be honest, most people arent. Fretless basses can sound beautiful, but fretted basses are a far better option for playability, especially when you look at morvens listening to list (and that is in no way an insult)...

Dont tell me 'i dont understand', im not as stupid as you think.
