What kind of bass should I get?
Recently, I decided that I'm gonna make a switch to bass. Well, when I'm playing in a band, I think I'm gonna play bass 'cause I always thought chicks who play bass in hard rock or metal bands are kickass. I play guitar and stuff and I'm still gonna continue with the guitar 'cause it's my "first love," lol.
But the real question is...I'm looking to get a bass but I'm not the kind of person who has that much money so I was wondering what kind of bass is cheap and pretty decent for the money? I don't know a thing about basses, I'm a guitar person, lol.

Re: What kind of bass should I get?
Hey, thanks for the tip. I had to use an online currency converter to convert euros into American dollars but it's $193 over here. That's not bad but I so don't have $193. I think I could probably afford $150-$179 or so. I'm THAT poor. I wish my step dad could help me buy it but he just got me red strat for Christmas, haha. If you see any good prices, lemme know. I'm looking for a pack 'cause it's a good way to start out.

Actually, forget what I just said. I found a way to make some good money so I can afford a little more than $179. Maybe in the $279 area or so.

Re: What kind of bass should I get?
I checked the Musicman basses out and they're about $675. That just screams expensive for me, lol. I'm actually checking out the Fernandes Tremor X bass pack but right now, the Encore bass that JasonStalker linked me to is $80 cheaper and that's tempting, lol.

Re: What kind of bass should I get?
I've been playing guitar for awhile and pretty much any guitar player can pick up a bass and play it but it takes someone who really loves bass to be able to really get into it and stuff. I'm way into the professional side of playing and I'm not a quiter. I would never decide I don't want to play anymore. I'm graduating high school in a few years and I've basically got my life planned. Go to college, get a job, start a band, try to get a record deal at all costs  . It won't be easy but it'll happen and then one day I'll make sure to thank the people at this board for helping me along the way, hehe.
I really need to stop shopping around. 'Cause a friend of mine works as a techincal assistant in a studio and said Ibanez make good basses. Now I'm thinking about getting an Ibanez, lol.

Re: What kind of bass should I get?
Yeah, I just can't see myself settling down and doing something normal. I wanna work irregular hours, travel a lot and be the creator, not the fan. But when I make it, I'm gonna hook up everybody, haha.
