Jay 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 Tomorrow I'm going to buy a Warwick Rockbass Vampyre: What do you guys think of it? In my opinion it's a great bass with a low price, I've already tried it and it's awesome. The only bad thing is that it doesn't have inlays on the fretboard >_> it's going to be a pain in the arse to get used to that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBH its not as difficult to get used to as you think! My guitar has no inlays and it didn't put me off Your supposed to get a feel for where the frets are anyway, so that you don't have to look at what your playing all the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I played the cello for awhile but never played the bass guitar. Although people have told me that they're very similar when it comes to string configuration.

Jay 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) humm not exactly. (Correct me if I'm wrong) The cello string tune is C G D A, while the bass is E A D G =P I never tried to play the cello but I think it's harder than the bass, since it's fretless =/ But I tried the violin and the bow is a bit tricky to use, so that makes the cello even harder to play... xD Edited August 25, 2009 by Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bass is the instrument that the song is focused on, unlike the guitar in most rock music. Don't pay attention to the video it was done horribly, just listen to the music. name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>&fs=1&"> Edited August 25, 2009 by Joe Statler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 214 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 I have a MusicMan Sub Bass that I purchased around 2 years ago. From memory I think it was around £250-£300, cheap at twice the price and sounds just as good as it's more expensive Stingray cousin.

Jay 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 Musicman are great basses, but in my opinion they're too damn ugly xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 214 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 They look fine to me... At the end of the day it's overall sound and playability that count, and the musicman hits both those points. (in my opinion) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 yes they do. Like I said, they are great basses, maybe the best. But in my opinion Musicman and Fender basses aren't that pretty xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
