Hey all,
I'm going to bite the bullet very shortly, and get myself a relatively cheap bass for recording purposes. I want to spend between $200-300.
I've got 2 questions:
1 - What should I look for in a bass? I'm a guitarist, I've got a musical background, but I don't really know what to look at closely when it comes to basses. I'm guessing-- general sound quality, lack of fret buzz, the way it's set up, manufacturing quality, neck attached solidly to body, etc.-- guitar stuff?
2 - What brands/models do you recommend? I've heard Ibanez GSR200 is a good one. What else should I check out?
Pete
