I'm looking to buy some decent bass gear in hopes to join or reform a band soon. I've been wanting to jam again really bad and decided to switch from guitar to bass as my main songwriting instrument this time around.
Just need some good recommendations before I start to really look. What's a good bass amp?
It's all bold. I'm not sure which word you meant to emphasize. I have no idea how to answer this.
fwiw, i seem to see galleon kruger a lot like for club bands when a combo is used.
i wonder if anyone makes the ladies version of the ampeg fridge, which comes as 4 2x10's heh.
laugh if you want, i would like that, especially after having the pleasure of wrestling a fridge up out of a basement practice space. fuck that noise.

Ampeg make that. http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/microvr/
Plus another cab.
Kinda need a budget to work with. New or secondhand? How much do looks matter?
For a rig, a Sansamp VT bpedal/preamp, a cheap Peavey power amp and most of the budget on a nice cab is best way to go, but utterly without style. I'd pretty much be OK with that sort of rig now, although I'd be fussy on the cab.
What sort of tone are you going for and what's your budget? There's more than one way to skin a cat.
Word^ is tube a priority? or the overpriced old solid state amps? or just down right cheap?
Squire Precision bass...used....$150.
amp? May i recommend something small? ampeg combo?
If you just want the best value/tone for the buck get a vintage modified Squier Precision, Ampeg 810 and a decent solid state head like a GK RB series or even a Behringer Ultrabass BX4500H. If you need more dirt, pick up a cheap bottom of the barrel OD/Dist pedal, there's plenty that can be found for $30 brand new. You can find all of those used for cheap. An Ampeg 810 is not a very cheap piece of gear, but there are so many out there you can find functional ones for $300-400 if you're patient and don't mind it being beat up looks wise.
shes a young lady living in an apartment I think? in a major metropolitan area? not sure if she has a car even? first time as a bassist. Id avoid the 8x10.
Yeah, I would go for 2 single 15's If she can't haul those, she aught not even bother with bass.
Plenty of affordable 4x10 cabs out there too. I wouldn't bother with a single 15, unless it's got a really efficient speaker in it. You can get 8x10s so cheap now and they put out so much volume, I think it's worth it to find a way to haul them around, if you're serious and not just dipping a toe in. In the end whatever gets you a result you like is the answer though. I have stronger opinions as a bassist who plays heavy music, but I'll stick to the encouragement.
Markbass anything if you just want to jam out.
Classic Vibe P-bass, ay, ay , ay~~~~
I have a buddy selling his bass rig uber-cheap ($150) but he's in WA, dunno where you are, 300W head and a 15" he's gigged it around the country, it's pretty bombproof. Look in the deals section.
Uber-light gear, TC-Electronic do lightweight heads and cabs, as do Markbass, Genz-Benz and Gallien Krueger, but don't assume being a girl someone can't lift heavy objects, I've worked PA crew with women and watched them haul subs downstairs ;D
Now old farts on the other hand, we appreciate light gear, I need to buy some :)
I've seen some cock-strong females. I used to know a chick who could beat me in arm-wrestling. I should have married her, only chick I've ever seen get in a fist fight with a guy that had 30+ pounds on her, and win, without my assistance. To his credit, she was a downright dirty fighter. 30 pounds on her put him at about 150, so I easily had a hundred pounds on him, to put it into perspective. 120 pound female with the arm strength to put me down in arm wrestling.
I used to have a Markbass Little Mark II and it was a very good amp. 5 lbs and very loud. There was a certain something in the low mids that drove me crazy (in an obsessive knob twiddling way, which I am not into), which is why I got rid of it, but I would still recommend it and they can be had used pretty cheap. One of those items that was all the rage one year, so the market is flooded with used models for cheap at this point.

Dude I was 135lb when I hauled PA, it's all in the legs, not the cock. It's obvious your self employed, otherwise you would have been force-fed some gender sensitivity training by now.

Isn't that what those weird VPL or VPE controls or something is for?
Yeah, there is a of adjustment with the EQ available, but it was too knob tweaky for my taste. I went through dozens of settings and I was always adjusting the settings trying to get this certain scoop out of the low mids. I've read since that a lot of people have made the same observation, but some people like that voicing. So I can't criticize it as a flaw, just a matter of taste. I'm sure if I could just force myself to be less obsessive I could have used it for the rest of my bass playing days no one would have said anything bad about it. That was never going to happen though.
I use a Squier Classic Vibe Jazz Bass-->black Russian Big Muff-->Markbass Little MarkII-->Ampeg 4x10. It gets the job done.

I just figured (http://i.imgur.com/GEqA7.gif) as usual ;)
My last bass player had a Markbass, it sounded killer for the size.
The SS distortion on those Markbass LMIIs actually sounds pretty badass nice and grindy a la old acoustics.
I'd probably try to get a used G&L SB-2 or a P bass of some sort (preferably w/ an active boost). Personally I think the new Fender Blackout P bass looks pretty badass no clue on pricing though. For amps I'd probably go the Tech 21 VT bass as pre and use a random old peavey power amp and whatever decent used speakers you can get. Always been a fan of 12s myself but it kinda depends on what sorta tunings you plan on doing and whether or not you'll be playing a 4 or 5 banger.

May I recommend you stay away from Ampeg or Crate SS heads, with that budget, SS is probably all you can get, and those are the worst sounding SS bass heads, and not very well built.
SX bass and a Peavey or Behringer head is probably gonna get you well within budget, maybe a GK Backline or something.

I don't know much about the technical side of things,all I know is what sounds good. So what's wrong with the Crate brand? I always hear how much it sucks. Same with Peavey but I used to have a Peavey practice amp for my guitar and it did'nt sound bad. Never really heard of the Behringer brand...I'll look into that. :)
Anyways...looks like I need to catch up with this thread a bit.
Crate and Ampeg have the same parent company, their solid state bass amps are all the same base, and it just sounds awful, flat, lifeless, and they don't get loud or take pedals very well. I like sound of Peavey's alright, my main amp is a Peavey in preference to a lot of other brands. Hartke's sound OK and can probably be found within your budget too.
You said you were switching from guitar? What do you have in the way of amplification for that? You might be able to get a good sound, and save some cash, using a guitar head into a bass cab. Guitar heads give yiu a vintage-y tone, because back in the day that was what people used ;)
NCHO 2500.
I cannot stress enough that you should try a P bass when you first start looking for a bass and at the end of your search before making a final decision. The longer I've played the more I've gravitated toward it. You can literally play it in almost any kind of music and it ALWAYS sounds good.
I thought you had a V4, Issy? There's your head...

An actual P-Bass or a P-Bass style instrument? An actual P-Bass is going to swallow most of the amp/bass budget and leave very little for amps and speakers.
Grist for the mill, I on the other hand hate the P-Bass, and would steer people away from it, it feels wrong to me, and always sounds blah with it's weird middle pickup. So it's probably best you try one and see if it works for you ;)
I'd actually recommend a jap-style bass, one with a small headstock, and lightweight tuning machines, so that it's unlikely to have a balance problem, and maybe one with twin soapbar pickups, because that gives you more tonal flexibility.
You also might want to give thought to how far your hands can stretch, a 34" scale is a big stretch up top, there are non-beginner basses that have a shorter scale, the SG type basses the Epi's and Gibby's are usually 30" though they do make a 34", I've seen 32" SG basses. Violin basses a la Paul McCartney are usually 30-32" scale as well. The thing to watch with an Epi SG bass is neck dive, those big ass tuners make the headstock head for the floor, even though they moved the strap button to the neck. Some balance better than others.
for short scale basses, the 70's fenders are fantastic and can be had for $350. Musicmaster Bass.
I also very much like th gibson short scale basses, they are considerably more expensive tho.
This would be nice for miss isabella...

P-bass and SS Ampeg no good? That's all new to me. Even the small SS Ampeg combo I had years back had tone for days and the Mexican Fender P I bought from my brother does THE classic bass tone with flats in my opinion.
I had the Epiphone version of that short scale and although I liked it's tone it was neck heavy which was very annoying.
Ampeg badges are too expensive and carve a lot of value for money out of amps they are attached to.

+1, there are some nice Squier Precision basses now which are inexpensive, or look for a Fender "MIM" version (made in Mexico) which can be found used on Craigs List for about 250-350 bucks. Probably wanna start by going to your local guitar mall and try a bunch of different ones, and see which ones seem comfortable. Then look on Craigs List for used versions, or the classifieds at Talk Bass dot com.

I generally agree but those PF series amps are a lot of power for the money.
Ampeg has made a ton of different products over the years, and had different owners/manufacturing bases, so to dismiss the entire brand is beyond silly. Same as Peavey bashing. It's not all the same just because it was made by the same company.

Have to agree with you here, can't stand P basses either, more of a Jazz guy myself.
Perhaps Isabella could post a few vids or tunes where she likes the bass tone, that would give us a good starting point on what gear to recommend. Best advice as always is to try as many different types as possible. Is there a guitar centre with a big bass room nearby? I remember going to NY in 2001 and trying out all that basses in that room til I found the one I liked most for sound, feel and aesthetics. It's still my number one bas to this day. Even if the bass you like is way out of range you ask here for a cheaper bass that'll be similar.

Peavey budget stuff is really good value for money and massively more so secondhand, Ampeg budget stuff not so much, and second hand stuff retains a lot of value, so doesn't throw up awesome deals. Plus Peavey stuff tends to be made to be serviced, whilst new ampeg stuff is made to be a ballache to service, and the tie their distributors into service contracts meaning stuff needs to be shipped off to a Ampeg tech to replace whole boards rather than letting the store tech fix it. So getting a secondhand Peavey, and serviced provides loads better value from start to finish, with the exception of the price you can resell for.

I know I'm like a freakin' broken record with this shit but it's true, name alone is pretty much meaningless at this point.
I'm unfortunate enough to live close to St. Louis, so every second piece of gear you work on is Crate or Ampeg. They are, in my opinion, badly designed, overpriced, and poor sounding, when compared to other items available for the same amount of cash.
The bass amps do share a lot of the same circuitry, so it's quite easy to generalise, because they all use the same boards. The SVT's (SS), B and BRE and the Crate BT's are all essentially the same design, in a different chassis, with different levels of power output.
Plus I specified solid-state bass amps, I like the sound of some of Crate's guitar heads, on bass, but again they can be kind of ropey to work on.
Also I stressed the fact I am a hater of P-basses, so again, not everyone loves them, but not everyone hates them either, one exception is the Squier Tele Bass, Vintage whateverthefuck,

^ Definitely more on the amp, and +1 on a J-Bass. Sexier curves.

Epi already put the strap button on the back of the neck, moving it around didn't help. Moving the bottom button round didn't help either.

Same I prefer the P neck and the tone sounds thicker to me. But yeah like Hemi said for a 600$ budget I'd keep the bass price 200 or lower if possible. Try to get a used Fender MIM or try to grab a Peavey T20 or T40 if you get extremely lucky. I actually rather like the Hamer Slammer (Made in Korea ones only) P and jazz knockoffs quite a bit. Could always of course go the Agile/SX route as well and drop upgrades in over time as you get $$$.
The whole P or J debate is a love hate thing. The end result is one of them will feel better in your hands and thats what you should go with. Course I wouldn't necessarily limit yourself to just trying Ps and Js.

Bill Lawrence. Is as original. The guy who bought it originally from a shot has been in touch and is sending me receipts and stuff, he sold it to Smee.
Just never saw one like that. Mine had two split P style pickups.

Well the Epi is only $199, but if it has to be pink there's this for the same price

He already has the info, I know him, my other BC rich came from him. If you wanna post 'This BC Rich was played by Leo Smee!!!' after every time he posts about his Phil Lynott bass, be my guest, sick of hearing about that. Higher res pics on my blog: http://ampstack.wordpress.com/

I used to have one of these and it was awesome. They have a current production one for like 299. Not sure it would be as good though.
249 actually

supernatural birth machine is an awesome album..imo, not nearly mentioned enough..that's really cool u got the bass.
whats the deal with that bladed pickup looks kinda like a t40's but not quite?
Its a bill Lawrence pickup, that's how they are. Should I start a new thread on this bass cause pretty severely hijacked this thread. I will do on Tuesday when I've had tech look at it.
