Jazz Bass recommendation
I decided getting a jazz bass. Started out on the cheapest possible P-Bass about 1,5 years ago. It is ok, but want to add some variation, and I want to get something decent.
Budget is pretty flexible, the question rather is how much should I spend. Planning to join a band but nothing concrete yet.
I’m torn between several options. Everything up to 1.000 Euro, for example Sire V5, Fender Player II, Sandberg Electra, or something like that. I know the difference between these is quite big.
Or does it make sense to stretch the budget for something like a Fender American Pro or comparable, but I guess for my skill level that’s kind of a waste. Another option is getting something used, maybe some older high quality stuff, which maybe comes around 1.000 Euro. Considering this the used market in germany is pretty weak and a lot of overpriced stuff.
