recommendation for a bass
Hi weijin
Just be careful with new yamaha basses nowadays cause they are made in indonesian. I will pay $0 for an indonesian bass. You can get a decent used japanese fender J bass for about 700 - 800 SGD. It sound close to the american made fender and give you the passive growl which is good for rock. You might have to deal with the single coil hum though.
Other recommendation is the old yamaha bb series (taiwan made) eg. BBG5A, BBn5A if you can get a whole of them.
The old ibanez SR series (japanese) are a good choice as well. (Guitar connection has a white ibanez on the rack.) And i believe there is a american fender red PJ 4 str.
The ibanez should be in the range from 700 - 900. Basically what i am saying is get a decently good bass to start so you wont have to regret and spend more $$ changing. There will ALWAYS be a better bass out there. Get one good for your needs. Get a friend who knows how to differentiate a good from bad bass to try out the guitars with you before you buy.
Hope this helps.

what is the merit of putting down a product by virtue of its country of origin? are indonesian wares inferior?

it's not about brand preference per se but a homage to good craftsmanship.
guys chill~! maybe he had bad experience with MII bass before.. As all of you guys know.. Even what if it is MIJ, when that one guy who had a bad day. he gave a pass in a FAIL product. u might also end up with a lousy bass even if it is PRINTED with MIJ. SO guys please do not flare up with the comments of stating his opinion. He just wanted the best out of every thing.. thus thanks EVERYONE!

owing to personal bad experience is a feeble excuse to put down a product.
nobody's arguing but sometimes we are too harsh with our words, especially to the newer members...
