Ok so we get alot of threads asking for advice when it comes to buying a bass. Instead of filling our guild with threads asking questions about bass buying I've decided to create a sticky for it all. This way we also build a type of "Archive of advice" So for now on please post Bass Purchasing Questions here. I'll remove some of the smaller threads and the older ones and spread the word of this new sticky to the bigger ones. My only advice is if your just learning how to play the bass you dont need a rickenbacker. Kyrenx Here goes a link to a thread I use to keep up, but as I no longer have time to deal with it much anymore, the thread sort of died.
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=15009
It should have guidelines for buying bass guitars, some gear reviews i've done and a bit of minor troubleshooting advice. Hope this helps.

I have two basses, a Fender Precision(Starter bass) and an Ibanez GIO Soundgear. They each have four strings. I was wondering what kind of bass would be a next step up, either four, five, or six string. I've been playing for almost two years (in December). And I'm thinking about saving for a new one.

i'd say it depends on your style of playing and what kind of music u listen to...if your into rock i'd say go for an epiphone thunderbird or if u r into jazz and what-not go with a warwick corvette 5 string! I''m currently saving for a warwick corvette jazzman 4 string

Hope this helps. looks like a good thread... i prefer musicians friend... its made by guitar center but cheaper and u dont have to deal with all those merchants (thier paid on commission so thier always tryin to get u to buy stuff) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/you wont find a musicians friend store so youll have to buy it from thier website or catologue but i bought my P bass and my 120 watt amp with a 15 inch speaker for around 300 bucks and its quality stuff

I'm looking to buy a new bass, because my current one is not so good. sweatdrop I was originally going to buy a six string, but I've decided I'd like to learn to play slap, so I threw that idea out. What would be a good bass to start slapping on in the $0-$300 (Preferably like $100-$250, most desire for free. domokun ) range? A bonus would be if it were a five string. Currently I'm playing a vintage Lyle bass, though I don't know specifically what kind. sweatdrop Edit: I'm kind of changing my mind about slap, and considering buying
this bass. Is it any good/would it be worth the money?

As far as that Rogue goes, im not a big fan of 6-string bass guitars.. seem like overside guitars and id rather play on my actual guitar instead of one of those any day. However, Rogue is a good brand for buying a solid first guitar, though in the long run.. its usually recommended to go for an upgrade if your playing really gets serious.
