The bassist in my band uses a Peavey International Series bass with passive pickups for recording. I want to buy a slightly better bass than that, for recording.
After having read here, Fender P Bass seems like a decent place to start, although when listening to sound clips of the standard low budget P bass and the P bass deluxe, I was far more convinced by the deluxe one (which is above my budget). My budget is £150, and I'm currently considering the following basses which I can get for that price (special deals)
Kramer Disciple Bass Guitar
4-String Bass Guitar, Black Hardware, Black/Cayenne Red Split
an EMG MMCS pickup, an EMG BTS preamp and ebony fingerboard.
Epiphone Les Paul Special Bass Guitar
4-String Bass Guitar, 2X 442R Alnico Bass Humbucker Pickups, Set Mahogany Neck, Mahogany Body, Dot Inlays, Black Hardware
Epiphone Nikki Sixx Blackbird
4-String Thundebird style Bass, 2X DeepSixx Humbucker Pickups, Bolt on Maple Neck, Iron Cross Inlays
