Any bass players?

Spector makes a pretty nice entry level bass (or at least they did when I was in sales). But their entry level was $350-$400. And the EMG's that came on those were "EMG-HZ", which were a cheaper level of EMG pickups. (I have EMG's in my P-Bass).


The Ibanez GSR200 is my right of the bat recommendation, I sold 100's of these:

ESP's LTD series is also a nice choice on the entry level. Very aggressive styling.

I certainly agree with TenrCS on the Yamaha basses. I like the Ibanez at the $200 price point a little better but I like Yamaha a little better in the mid-range. Here is the low end Yamaha though:

I don't remember you giving a price range so let me know if I am in the ballpark.


Also I would really recommend taking a trip down to your local music store and getting your hands on some basses - especially if you have a good independent local store.
