SX Bass

[wraith]

If you like it, it probably doesn't matter what the bass was built for, there's really no such thing as a metal bass or a jazz bass, just personal preference,

hmmm... dude i think he means it as a genre. fender's jazz basses are just in the name. you see metal players playing those basses as well. i mean a precision bass isn't meant only for precision music no? :lol:

 

[wraith]

Ya, its just the name of the bass, ESP has a history with some popular metal players and that in combination with the way some of the guitars look earn them a reputation as a metal players bass/guitar, but you could sure as hell use them for jazz and funk music, just that it would look quite out of place in that environment.

ahhh... didn't notice that

eventhough all basses if built and setup correctly can play any genre of music, i can't quite picture a b.c. rich on a jazz stage tho...

 

[PsychedeliC]

Anyone has any idea where i can find info on LTD?

 

[wraith]

Try the ESP website. I think it should be www.espguitars.co.jp

Araya's affiliation with the bass has made it rather costly.

this might be a little out of place but.. if you are looking for a budget bass like an SX... why not consider either an ibanez soundgear (i started with that)? It actually really worth the money. Alternatively, i think a MIM fender Jazz or a Yamaha would make a good entry level bass to start out with too.

But anyway, i suggest investing a little more into your first instrument since it'll probably stick with you for quite awhile untill you find that your skills warrants a better upgrade =P With a nicer instrument, you are likely to feel more inspired to play! haha...

Also, a more recognised brand will lead to better re-sale value thus it can still fund your future purchases!

So, have youuuuuu decided what youuu want?

so its more to buying the araya's name? -_-"

 

[reyrey]

slapadelic: i agree with you on finding instruments with good resale value =) most likely less people will buy 2nd hand esp [let's say arraya's sign model],prolly a fender,musicman or rickies will have a beter chance yea

[PsychedeliC]

and my SX bass A string keeps going out of place At the Top.. So annoying.

reyrey:

haha... yeah man. I do think luck plays a part in selling your gear off too. Sold my last two basses, an ibanez and a yamaha at decent prices too! haha..


PsychedeliC:

The fitting of the string on the nut might not be sitted well. You can either try to re-file it down so the string sits better (assuming its not sitted in deep enough) or just go out and get another nut! (hahahaha... pun not intended).
