So I'm a guitarist who has been borrowing my pops' MIM Fender Jazz bass for a while just to use for songwriting and cutting some bass tracks, but he's determined to learn to play so he wants it back. I've been meaning to get a bass of my own, so I'm not heartbroken. I'm looking to spend under $500 on a used bass which I'll use primarily for recording heavy music (anything from Katatonia to Decapitated), and I intend to generally have it set up for C-standard tuning. Until it comes to recording anything but demo's, I'll be direct injecting and using amp sims/impulses.
Since I'm a guitarist, any of the basic suggestions (i.e., 4 or 5 strings, bolt-on vs neck thru, active vs passive pups) would help. Googling and forum searching has helped a bit, but has generally left me lusting after axes twice what I'm willing to spend...
Gratzi!
