Since I got invited to play bass in the company band, I actually need a bass rig. And the first piece of that includes... well, a bass.
I went into guitar center and played a few basses. Outside of the Amercian Deluxe J bass (it can switch between a passive tone circuit and an active 3 band - sounds fucking amazing but it's 1700) this was the one that called to me the most. It's a Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar, and it's just great for the money. It definitely needs some new pickups, I'm either going to change the 2 band eq to a 3 band or make it passive (haven't decided yet), and I'm probably going to throw a cool bridge and hipshot tuners on it, but it will more than work in the interim. Plus, for 200 bucks, I really do love it.
