These pictures are your place or the store? If it’s your place, then I believe I’m starting to understand the dangers of GAS

Technically it’s only part of his place

@Al1885 left “league” a long time ago.

He is in a bona fide realm that mere mortals can only dream of.

Yeah the GAS is real. I was spared by temporary illness but it didn’t help my GAS I ended up GASsing more IEMs. Now I’m in a real danger of becoming worse, an Audiophile!

If you are in SoCal come by I’ll wave the admission fee,

It’s insanely difficult to find a bass that’s not versatile enough across genres so the fun task is to find the narrowest versatility from your 2nd bass and on.

One and done is not a good thing. Last thing I “want” on a bass is versatility. That’s why it’s so much fun to play a song with 10 different basses and pick the one you like the most.

I love it when I record originals and know exactly which bass to use and it also provide the inspiration for the bass lines.

This is so true !

My 1st bass was versatile… turns out I don’t like it at the end

I’m now looking for “dedication”

• Jazz
• P-Bass
• HH
• …

Ok so Yamaha, Ibanez, Marcus Miller, Squire… others that I don’t yet know… all look good enough. But why is @JoshFossgreen always playing a Squire in his videos?

I recently saw a video comparing a Yamaha VS an Ibanez for beginners… but Squire is not mentioned… is this a conspiracy ? Are Squire basses really the best but THEY don’t want us to know?

He’s not

His main bass and most of his course material was originally a Peavey Cirrus; he went with the Squier and others in later videos to show a bass more likely for beginners to own.

No, they are dead average entry level basses. Fender products are usually never the best at anything but are good at most things, kind of the classic Jacks of all Trades.

Squier basses are fine. At least the Paranormal and Classic Vibe series. The lower priced basses have correspondingly lower quality, but the CV and Paranormal are on par with other basses in the price range. Quality wise that is.

Where Squier, and Fender really, strength is that it is good at everything.

It’s weakness is it doesn’t do great at anything. So I agree with @howard

To me Squier and Fender are a good pickup away from being a great value.
