To any guitarists here:
I'm looking to buy a bass guitar, a Squier Jazz Bass precisely. I have ~$400 to spend on it, and I'd prefer a metallic color for the body. The pickguard color won't matter, since I'll probably switch it out for a tortoiseshell later. I'm thinking about buying from Guitar Center, but are there any other last minute places I should give a look to buy? I'm in SoCal, and since this will be my first bass, I'm 100% geared towards buying from a physical store, so I can try out what I'll buy. On a side note, would a tortoiseshell pickguard look good on a metallic blue, red, or green body? |

Regarding the bass, a custom "ita" Akiyama Mio body. It would be better if the body is of the actual girl's...*IS SHOT*

A starter's bass should not be expensive and the cheap basses today are great, I don't know about the color of the bass but if you are looking to buy a Squier Jazz Bass go for the vintage modified series or the classic vibe, and you'll probably will have a bit of a problem looking for a custom in a starter's bass... If I was going to begin with bass again, I would go for a Squier Jazz Bass and not the Ibanez GSR200 which today is fretless.

Anyhow, I got Azusa from a sale at $400, but it is MIC (Made In China), so I am rather scared about her suddenly breaking on me.

Guitar is harder to learn but easier to master, it is all dependent on the musical instrument's place in the band. Unless you like to play it John Myung style (Dream Theater) rather flamboyantly and on par with regards to musicality of the guitar and keyboard, the starter bass isn't needed.

Time for me to chip in my two cents.
Even though my main bass is a Godin BG5 with EMG active pickups, I still have, and use, my very first bass (a Squire P-Bass), which I bought nearly five years ago. When I was auditioning to play bass for a heavy metal band just over a month ago, I used the Squire, and it held its own against a BC Rich guitar. I'm not saying that it is a must to buy a starter bass like a Squire or an Epiphone - after all, it is a matter of opinion. However, as Agito Akiyama said, if you really do like your starter bass so much, you can always replace the electronics and the strings to achieve a better tone while retaining your familiarity with the bass. (That said, my Squire has never been modified - nope, never did change the strings) Quote:
That said, regarding this thread, are we supposed to just talk about the musical instruments featured in K-On!, or just about musical instruments in general?

Thanks for the opinions. I'd rather not wait, since it took me a while to get the $400 I have now, and I need a bass in a few months. I will get a Squier Jazz, guaranteed. I'm not too sure about spending more than $500 on an instrument I'm sure to bang up, break, and "experiment" with, which I usually do with my first instruments. I think I'll get a metallic green body.
