Got a Squier 60s Vibe Jazz in cream/white with tortoiseshell plate and it's one of the best axes I've ever owned. Agreed I also have a Warwick Rockbass, Epiphone Thunderbird and Ibanez SR300E so quite some competition. None of them are super professional but they serve my needs 😊 Would have another Ibanez SR300E in a heartbeat though, no problems

Love your energy in this video. You're not just showing these basses, you are enjoying them and having a good time. Nice!

It’s because bassist alway play guitars better than guitarist play bass.

I have a lefty version of the Ibanez SR300E. It was my first bass and I still play it just as much as my other basses. I did get .115-.50 gauge strings put on it and tuned it to drop-c. It gets a really punchy growly tone, even without overdrive, distortion, or effects, and I love it!

I've been playing bass since 1984, and I have to say I absolutely love the Squier Jazz Basses. I owned several basses over the years, several Fenders, a Music man, and an Ibanez. I've sold all of them over time except for the 83 Jazz bass I have owned since 84 and was my first bass. She'll never be sold and I will pass it on to my kids when my time is up. I have 7 other basses 4 are Squier Jazz basses to include the one he played, a Squier Precision bass, a Cort performer series fretless I've owned since 89 and was the second base I owned. The Squiers are great for gigs and novice players alike, great value for the money. In fact, the one he played and I own is my main "go-to" bass.

hi! i’m very new to this but want to learn, is there any issue with using jazz basses for other styles? like is that some bass faux pas thing? thanks!

Yo the Ibanez GSR200 is a fantastic entry to mid level bass. It's got an active bass boost; give a beginner good lessons in tone variations and maintaining an active pickup config, and they really learn how to utilize it the more practice they get. It's a great bass to grow into, plays really comfortably, easy scale length, and honestly, the transparent finishes look dope as fuck. And yes, it sounds killer for the $200 tag, I've rehearsed, performed, and recorded with mine, HAS NOT LET ME DOWN and I've had it for exactly ten years now. Check them out if youre looking for a solid practice or recording bass, or if you've got a fledgling bassist on your hands and wanna give them an instrument they'll be playing for years before they feel the need to upgrade.

Squier VM 70s basses are awesome. Only problem with mine was that some of the screw holes weren't centered with hardware, so I removed the screws and filled them, then redrilled them more accurately. I also put black fender knobs on the pots because they look much nicer.

I am a beginner and got an excellent SR300E (brownish copper kinda) for $250. It's really nice to learn on. And it's beautiful.

Ibanez talman bass is another great bass for the price! The tmb 100 is an amazing beginner bass, and the 310 is the bass i currently play. For 300 us dollars in my opinion it cant be beat. Active eq, a p style pickup on the neck and a double jazz bass pickup at the bridge, along with a tap and series switch for switching from one jazz pickup to two. The tone control works incredibly well, both bass and treble. I plugged in, set the amp with all bass knobs at middle, and havent touched the amp since. The fit and finish is spectacular, far better than basses ive seen that cost nearly double. The bass shipped with a perfect low action for my play style, and came with a great gig bag! It was even in tune out of the box. I reccomend the ibanez tmb310 to anyone looking for a killer budget bass. Turquoise Sparkle is the color i have, and its absolutely gorgeous. The block inlays are simple but very well fitted and seamless. The whole fingerboard is inlayed into an acrylic (i believe) pocket, and i havent noticed and vibration dampening with that, as other basses have shown. For thr money, unbeatable in looks and sounds. Sounds good, even on a cheap amp.

My first bass was that Fender P-Bass, I didn’t like it starting out because it sounds better with a pick and Slap (I obviously started with finger style) so I got a schecter to help reinforce my pursuit of metal music. However now that I have expanded my skills in slap and pick, the Fender is OUTSTANDING. Definitely a must have, and if you wanna do something cool, have it set up with BEAD strings and you can make very low end melodic pieces on it. Jazz and funk are probably it’s peak genres.

Another great bass for small dosh amount, especially for beginners, is the Yamaha TRBX174. Great quality bass especially in the studio

Doing god's work

+1 on the Hofner. I received a Hofner Club Bass for Christmas. It's a hollow body bass, constructed just like the Violin Bass you reviewed, but is single cutaway bass using Hofner's Club guitar body for a bass (it is similar to a Les Paul in shape). It's hearable, but not "loud" acoustically as you stated. I'm a guitar player and have forsaken my guitars since getting this Hofner. It's so comfortable, toneful, and just fun to play that I cannot wait to play and practice on it. These Ignition series basses by Hofner are a complete home run, and my $349 Hofner has absolutely perfect workmanship and finish. The intonation was even perfect, even on that clunky bridge Hofner uses, though I did have to set the action to my liking but have never received a guitar that the action was perfect for me from the factory. I enjoyed the list and your playing, unlike the critics in other comments. If anyone is a true bass player and wanting a range of basses in their arsenal like guitar players do, they should add a hollow, inexpensive, beautiful Hofner. Used ones abound on the interwebs, but it'll need a setup. You'll love the tones these things have, and if, like me, you don't like the violin bass' looks, get the single cutaway Club bass. I'm gushing about this bass because, even though you can get good cheaper basses than $350, the Hofner has fantastic quality and a tone all it's own. We're living in amazing times that we have such good choices in basses for not much money!

I got an Ibanez TMB30 short scale bass you had previously done a video on and it's freakin awesome came almost perfectly setup. All I had to do was 1 full screw turn up on the low e saddle to get rid of a slight fret buzz and bingo its perfect.

Check out the Ibanez TMB100 bass

I've had the Squire 70's Jazz bass for quite a few years now. It's such an amazing bass that does so much right for such a great price!

Two weeks I bought a new Yamaha (yes, Yamaha) bass guitar, model RBX170Y, black. I was looking for an inexpensive bass because the one I've been playing is my 1992 Guild Pilot with EMG pickups. I've been playing that bass since the day I bought it in 1992. I own a violin bass, 70s Fender P-bass, I still have my 1983 Fender Elite II P-bass, I did own a 2013 American Standard Jazz, and in 1981 I even owned a Kramer bass with a forked aluminum neck and head. I picked up the Yamaha and I was blown away at how easy the neck played, strings are low, perfectly straight neck, etc. I ended up picking it up for $300.00 and played it that night. I am also looking at a Squier Vintage Modified P Bass FL - 3-Color Sunburst. It's in the same price range but I haven't been able to find one to play.

I mainly started & learned my way around a bass on a Luna Tattoo. I have got a few other sorta cheap basses since, Yamaha BB234, Dean Paramount, Squier, basically because I like the wood grain showing in the styles I picked and I just like them. But my long scale Luna Tattoo is still my favorite knock around & bass to play. I like the weight & balance. Lack of neck dive. The neck isn't too thick or too narrow. I do like the pick-ups on some other basses better and may replace them one day. I also prefere other bass's open tuners but the Luna's stay in tune and have lasted. I believe the parent company of Dean, Armadillo, purchased Luna just before they made mine several years ago, but they haven't changed much. And the looks of them are very cool IMO. People always wanna feel the etching and say wow that's real. And they say those crescent moon inlays are cool. If I had my drathers they would be made elsewhere besides China. But anyway, I dig my $200 Luna.

Dude, I've ever picked up a bass once, and I felt something I've never felt man it was such a connection. I want a bass so bad bro but I'm 14 and have 0 income 😣😣😣

I think the Squier Affinity Bronco Bass deserves a spot here. It looks and sounds great. But I advise if you are playing jazzy, low tone songs, go for the Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Short Scale Bass. The Bronco is not mellow, and is a good bass for punk rock, alternative, emo, etc. It also isn't bad for mellow songs, but the Jaguar would be better. Also, nice job with the Feel Good Inc bass part!

GREAT reviews, big thanks from Cali!

OMG AMAZEBALLS! These vids are great! Keep it up, Dagan!

I've got the Ibanez GSRM20 miKro bass in black. Paid around $170 for it brand new. Replaced pickups with Quarter Pounders (though the original pups sounded good) and replaced the cheap plastic tuning keys with Hip Shot tuners. I'm a guitar player who needed a bass to record with. Long scale bass's are uncomfortable for me to play because I pick near the bridge like a six string guitarist would, making it an awkward stretch for my left arm to fret the notes near the headstock and causing shoulder fatigue. This bass is really fun to play because of the short scale length and it sounds sooooo good through my Ampeg combo amp. It also stays in tune very well (with the Hip Shot tuners).

On an overseas tour, I almost bought a hofner, similarly identical to the one shown, there were musicman, stingray brooms all over europe, could've gotten one of them anywhere. The reason I became interested in the hofner was I found it smaller, rounder and hollowerer than this kramer I had back in the world, military expression for home. I played in the store for a little but decided against it, additionally I didnt care for the store bass cabinets. I was only interested in the fishing rod, not the minows, meaning the cabinet. We didn't have rapport communication, storeperson where I was still learning the conversation language. I was still in a headstart program, only later I got a little better with the language barrier. I just don't advise a cheap sidewinder unless you don't care about harmonics, or sound muffling depth, but hey if you buy used tires don't expect to achieve the better quality of brand new tires, a huge difference, just keeping it 100.

Thanks you! I am looking to get a bass and this video really helped!

I've always owned long scale basses. However, short scale is perfect for young hands AND those guitar playing crossovers to bass that may have trouble reaching notes on long scale. Paul McCartney is the most famous example. His Hofner is short scale. Paul originally played guitar and piano. He switched to bass due to band need. Later as his skills on bass expanded from great to genius level he changed to Rickenbacker among other basses. Jack Bruce also favored a short scale Gibson bass.

It's not about the pick play in this vid, but it really feels like he is a guitar player. He often is off rhytmically and plays with a lot of extra sounds, not muting the strings. When he isn't spot on on time he tends to accelerate, which renders his playing even messier...well it's certainly a playstyle, but this kind of leeway is more common amongst guitar players, to give some life to the music. In a bass player it sounds messy. Add a drummer to that and it won't feel right. The guy seems cool though but I would have preferred demonstrations that were more solid regarding the playing (as well as with less distortion).

If Ibanez still offered their ATK line those are some pretty nice basses on a budget. Especially the ATK 300 which had a maple neck and a Bartolini Stringray style pick up. The ATK 200 got a rosewood neck and an Ibanez CAP pick up which seemed to be a recreation of the 300's pick up. Definitely worth looking at if you can find one for under $500. Actually sold a Fender P-Bass for the ATK 200.

As a new bass payer, I bought the Ibanez SR300E in white. Beautiful bass. I bought the Fender LT25 Rumble as the amp as it was recommended to me by the store where i purchased it. However, the multiple digital settings on the LT25 however do not work well with my bass due to the power switch, the bridge/neck pickup knob and the bass, mid & treble boost/cut. I have to set everything flat until I can afford another amp. Bass and the amp work great but just not together as a combo. Any recommendations for amps that work with active basses?

I love cheap instruments that don't suck. I have a ibanez gsr 200 bass till 2005 for 210 euros and i was thinking to move on to a more expensive instrument when my skills grew but there is no need (they never grew, lol). It has a j-p pickup set up with volume to each pick up, tone and an active eq (one magic knob), it is so versatile, close the active and the tone use only the j pick up and you have a trombone sound like pastorious style, open both and the active to full and you have a slap machine. I ve played from metal (death, slayer etc), hip-hop, rock to ethnic fusioned with other styles with oud, violin, percusions, traditional wind instruments, in gigs and at the studio having good sound even with only a di.

I am torn between the Sterling and the Squire. Both look and sound amazing.

I have 3 spector bolt on neck Korean made basses and I love em. I bought them used. I payed average 250 American per. Bubinga pj 4 string, flame flat top 4 string, flame curved top 5 string

My first bass was an Ibanez GSRM20 miKro and I could get really nice tones out of it, plus it was so light that my back wouldn'r hurt after hours of playing.

I have the Hofner Ignition Series Violin Bass. It was so worth it

The jackson js2 spectra is $200 and is one of the best basses I've ever played. It has active pickups bass boost and a pickup blender knob.

Yea agreed. I have yet to find a better bass than it under 500$. It's amazing

You put on a nice presentation. Good up-down picking style. One thing about the E.B. SUB pickup. Watch out for those sharp edges on the poles. If you are not careful, those edges will cut you. You won't see this issue on the US made models. But no doubt about it. For the cost, a SUB is a pretty sweet deal. I like the Ibanez you demonstrated. Can't lose on the lower cost Ibanez basses. THANKS!

I'm getting the Ibanez SR300 bass this week. I'm looking forward to going back to my roots with Ibanez

Stingray: also Simon Gallup, from The Cure, in the early-to-mid 80s..

The Affinity Squier basses are amazing value! I bought a cheap Squier Affinity Series Precision Bass PJ and couldn't be happier! I think that Jaguar sounded good too :-)

I like the music man or the last one... I'm stuck on which one to buy ? Any suggestions? The micro bass is cool, but I would have to upgrade sooner right ? But $99.99 wow...

I am a big Geddy Lee fan so I love the Squire Jazz bass. Nice sound the Fender Jazz bass. It sounds so LIVE when you hammer down on it, lol!

I want the hofner bass not much for Paul Macartney playing it (even thought I love the Beatles) the base just looks fun to play

This dude's pretty awesome. Nothing quite like "Electric Beat-Off". At its Finest. I am NOT knocking this video. All the Basses sound pretty damn great. This guy does some pretty Bad-Ass improv as well as some well known lines. I always say -- if you know your stuff, you can make just about ANYTHING sound good and passable. Rock on dude.

And you're a very talented lad!! Keep up the good work!

I like the ibanez gsrm20 mikro and the ibanez sr300. They really sound awesome. The way I like the Ibanez bass are the pickups. I'm more on a pj style, since they really sound very unique, especially while playing a melodic bassline on a fingerstyle, giving it a richer, warm sound of the Ibanez pj. By the way, that was a good playing for using a pick. Keep it up. 😊🙌👍

You can really appreciate the purity and individual character of each bass with all that overdrive.

Nobody is here looking for the purity of a bass when the title of the video is "Cheap Basses that don't suck"

What’s Russell brand doing playing bass???

what cord do you have plugged into the hofner violin guitar, it looks very heavy duty who makes it?

Dagan the GOAT. Always dandy demonstrations. I would like to see a longer demonstration of the Sterling and Ibanez. If no, you sill rock.

I should’ve watched one of these videos before buying a bass because for my first bass I just took a random Squier off the rack and said “This one!”. I now realize i had way better options...

Plenty of cheap kits don't suck, you just need to get good heads and tune them well. Most cheap kits have very poor hardware though, so I wouldn't wanna cheap out too much.

I used to play bass for my high school band and I loved it. Honestly it was the best part about high school and I miss it so much. I learned how to play so many of my favorite songs on the bass they had there, might have been like the first bass in this video if I remember correctly. Such a nice bass, I was sad that I couldn't buy it from the school. It's been a while. I have a six string guitar but it's not the same. Hopefully I can walk into a guitar center and find something that won't axe my wallet.

Great entertaining review 😊

A friend of mine told me something about the Sub bass that I could never unsee. The pickguard looks like a toilet seat cover.

Which one is good for a beginner I would be left handed on the strings of the guitar thought about getting a guitar before but thinking about getting one I bought a Microkorg synth piano years ago but after that had thoughts about getting a guitar I bought one more instrument than that was a harmonica but now am a lot into auto painting but almost two years now found about painting from just trying to get rust off my old truck and after got it off started painting not good enough at it yet but will be doing it this year though since it will be warmer in Michigan soon to paint.

Good gosh, if I ever lay my hands on that violin, I'm rewiring those switches

Captain Jack Sparrow has traded his passion for the black pearl for the groove of the bass. Savvy?

Thanks for posting

I feel it should be mentioned that although he did switch to a P-Bass later on, Mike Dirnt's Longview bass line, and everything on Dookie, was originally played on a Gibson Grabber. Carry on! :)
