mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 to me it looks like pretty much the same thing except for a few differences. does anyone know the better of the two or something of the sort? the bassist for the strokes has the jazz bass... the bassist for coldplay has the precision bass... so im really torn between the too... ahhh the problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBerry Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 the jazz bass has an amazing sound. I think it´s better than the precision one. (oh, my humble opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headbanger_bassist Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 i'd say the jazz bass. certainly. but then thats just me...i prefer the Strokes bass sound mkost of the time myself :blush: but of course i'm just an ignorant little "metal girl", so dont pay attention to me :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 P-Bass has more of a deeper, mellow sound. Jazz Bass is more responsive with high end, and sounds a little punchier, and you have more tone options, because there are two pickups instead of just one, like on the P-Bass. I own a Jazz Bass, as it turns out, because that's the one I prefer. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 i think colin greenwood (radiohead) uses a p-bass too... i prefer the Strokes bass sound mkost of the time myself it's completely different style: he uses mostly 8th notes and he uses a pick but thanks for the advice i think ill end up getting a precision bass there's one i want to get that is made in mexico and comes with a gig bag i like and there is one that is made in america minus the gig bag out of those 2 which one would you get? and i swear ill stop bothering you all with questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 yeah mr peed take a look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=64401&item=3729751873&rd=1 and tell me if you'd buy it i think ill have to go ebay because anywhere else im aware of is ridiculously priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 cool or not but hey why are mexican guitars so bad? it cant be THAT different from an american can it? just a bit of an accent prolly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Alive Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 they're not bad at all. Mexican Fenders are excellent guitars, but they're just not as good as the American ones. the build quality and electronics are better with US Fenders. if you can afford an American Fender, you should go for that instead i reckon.

MrsBerry Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I´ve been to a musical instrument store some time ago and the Mexican Fender was more expensive than the American one :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 american fenders are really hard to find on ebay (that's where ill end up getting it most likely) but there are usually mexican fenders up there alot thanks for the info ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Like Skinned Alive said, the Mexican Fenders aren't bad, they're just not as good. And if that P-Bass stays anywhere less than $350 or so, I'd buy it, but if it goes any higher than that you could probably get the same thing new for a similar price on musiciansfriend.com or something.

mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 alright last question there is a p-bass that i can do a "buy it now" for $275 but its mexican if the american goes above $275 how far should i let it go before i should just purchase the mexican p-bass?
