It might be worth asking in the bass forum? thanks for the link i've had a look, there are a few nice basses there i might have to try some of them out :)

and that is true about bass players being wanted more for a band than guitar and it's always handy i suppose to know how to play the two of them thanks for your help :D

and remember you can keep adding posts if you want with helpful tips

But I love the instrument.

I say get the bass. Bass players are in far more demand than guitar players, you will always have a gig. :wink:

Our bass player Dom just picked up a Dean 5 string on EBay for about $150. I'm tellin' ya, it is NICE. I couldn't believe the high quality for such a low price. Has great tone too. So check out Dean, they make great guitars.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179579 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179572 Sun, 28 May 2006 00:22:33 +0000 I'd imagine the Squier basses would be not bad for that sort of price range?

But as long as your guitar is getting the job done, I totally agree with duffmaster. A mando, bass, banjo, etc is close enough to guitar that a lot of your skills will transfer over, but the different perspective that a second instrument gives you will help you a lot as a musician. Thanks everyone i think i will get the bass, for the reason above because my guitar sounds good enough to me :D you've all been a great help, and if you still want to suggest things you are welcome to, and while im here does anyone have any suggestions on which bass i should get for low price around £100 - £200 8)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Tre-Billie-Mike https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179553 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179551 Sat, 27 May 2006 23:01:55 +0000
Having said that, I try to add bass runs and concentrate on the lowest notes of a chord during progressions so I get ascending or descending bass progs etc for effect.

Anyway, slightly off topic, but point is, don't think that a bass and a guitar are that distant from each other. They're as similar you make them (ie. the skills you integrate that are usually associated with t'other)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Clazon https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179551 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179543 Sat, 27 May 2006 22:47:43 +0000

I play trumpet as well as guitar (they're not even close to being similar!), and a lot of times I'll be working on something on one and think to myself, 'how could I work that on the other instrument?' Sometimes you just can't, but many-a-time it ends up being something cool that I would never have thought of even trying before!]]> Guitar Players Discussion jasonrunguitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179543 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179535 Sat, 27 May 2006 22:21:46 +0000

It's all good -- another guitar or a bass. You can't make a bad decision there.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-should-i-do-4/#post-179505
