Buy Rogue LX200B Series II Bass Guitar | 4 String Electric Bass | Musician's Friend
Pretty Decent bass for the money. I still have this bass and it sounds great. also pick or fingers is fine but i reccomend balancing between both of them |

If that's rogue is decent like you say then it looks like a very good deal.

i want a hofner though! |
I've always wanted to play a hofner viola bass but have got the chance to. They're not too expensive but apparently are very good.

I'm a bassist and proud of it! I love making really complex bass lines and playing that with the guitar players iinstead of doing broing roots all the time. I've been playing for about five year. I have an Ibanez SRX500 playing through a Fender Bassman amp. I love my bass so much.

The bassist in my band has an SRX. But anyhoo playing complex basslines just so your not playing root notes isn't necessarily a good thing. Remember that a good musician gives the song what's needed and know more... also be aware of what your instruments role in the band is. For example if your playing a simple rock shuffle the bass should be pumping the rhythm and filling out the bottom end, as soon as you try and do anything fancy or twiddle or whatever then you screw everything up.
Just a reminder as I've played with many musicians who can obviously play but screw everything up by being too flashy and also ignorant to the feel of the song. EDIT: Sorry I forgot about the hofner discussion. They are cheap for a professional grade bass is what I mean. |
