Hi folks,

I play a Samick bass right now. I' ve been playing this bass off and on for 12 years now.

Now, I' m into playing slap bass and don' t really know much about which bass are good for slapping.

This next bass I' m getting would be my second one and wants it to be a good one yet affordable.

thanks,

Fred

this would be a good inexspensive bass to start out with IMO.

Just wondering guys.

Are there any other basses similar to Music Man Bass Stingray that are a little cheaper? Embarassed

Similar sound and feel.

MM do one called a SUB which is a kinda cut down version, looks the same, a bit more 'industrial' maybe, about half the price I think.

No worries my friend, thats why we are here. In UK SUB's go for about 500 quid, maybe a bit less if you search around, dunno if that helps any!
