bluesguitar65 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well, yesterday afterwork I went to Guitar Center as they started with their Labor Day sale yesterday and I went in there to purchase a pack of strings. Well, was browsing around and stumbled upon the Bass area and though...hmmmmm I need a bass to lay some bass tracks as the bass tracks that came with garageband sound pretty cheesy and limiting. Well, to make the the story short, I got me a basic bass setup with amp for $460 out the door, all new including the gig bag and the pack of strings I originally went to the store for [flapper] . Its a Fender Squire Classic Vibe 60s Jazz Bass and a Fender Rumble 75 watt amp. I'll be doing some videos soon over labor day weekend. I had to sneak all these new gear around the back of the house to my man cave without the Mrs. noticing By bluesguitar65 at 2011-08-31 By bluesguitar65 at 2011-08-31 By bluesguitar65 at 2011-08-31 By bluesguitar65 at 2011-08-31 By bluesguitar65 at 2011-08-31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPguitarman Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 So the Mrs. doesn't ever come into your Mancave... lucky you, LOL Nice package. I know it's rare, but try using a pick instead of your fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Congrats-that's a great bargain-these Squier guitars are very well made and they could be charging a lot more for them given the quality that goes into them.The Jazz bass is way better suited to the guitarist than the P Bass as it has a much narrower neck,so it's easier to adapt to,plus the Jazz bass gives you a broader tonal range.The Rumble amps are also punchy bass amps even though they're solid state.

Bassilisk Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Can't beat that with a stick - congrats. I've heard nothing but good things about the current Squiers though I've never tried one myself. Appearently they are quite a bang for the buck. As for the Mrs - now that you've joined the dark side sneaking this in won't help you. she won't have to hear it - she'll feel it soon enough......

Well, she use to, but she was horrified with all the gear I have laying around...she thinks they are all junk, so she doesn't go in there as often So, you say not use my fingers? I'm most comfortable with a pick anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
