Default Muscians?

I'm in the market for a Bass Guitar....I've had one before, (Ibanez 4string/fretted), and I'm looking to get back into plucking away at it. Anyone have any good experience with anything in particular? I was looking at the Fender Squire P-Bass. I'm not a professional or anything, just like to play away to take up some time. That, and I need toys to fill the new house.

Are you looking for an electric bass or an acoustic?

If you are willing to drive to buy a bass a friend of mine that is a bass player is looking to sell one of his and I believe it's a 5 string. I can get more details (like the brand) if your interested.

I'd actully like to stick with a 4 string.

I went to GuitarCenter today, and I deff like the Jazz over the P bass. I played an Ibanez I liked as well too.

Ryan, electric.

a p-bass might not be a "top of the line" bass but its still a good bass to mess around with. We used one for nearly 2 years before we got a new one and put it in as a back up.

Hey Craig,
Billy Sheehan gets my vote. I saw him play with Steve Via, awesome show!
Still playing your guitar I suppose. I got a couple of new ones this year.

haha yes.
geddy lee
victor wooten (classical thump-listen to it!)
billy sheehan

if you want a good bass for a good price, you should try the geddy lee fender jazz bass. really good sound for a really great price. another good one is the ibanez btb series. id go with the mid-range model. also great for the price.

hey, i know u said u prefer a 4 string, i am just letting u know my dad has a Fender 5-string bass guitar, that he used for like one week (he has many, many guitars) and it has been sitting in a case, un-used. if you are interested he will probably sell it, cause one of my friends was interested awhile back but he didnt have any money. let me know, i can get more info about the bass guitar for you. he also has a massive fender bass amp.
