Guild B-402 - "Guild B402, my main bass for a decade. "
I traded my '76 JB for it in '81. Used. Knew nothing about it. Played it in the store; felt great; active pre-amp; body was natural swamp ash. Back on the road, played it six nights a week, 4 to 5 yr…
Ibanez SRX595 - "15 years in"
Figured I'd write a review for the used market since this bass is discontinued. This bass is bigger than the normal SDGR, so the neck feels more Fender than Ibanez, feels great and easy to play yet…

Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass Special - "Its no G&L but great for the money"
1. You can not compare a Squier to a G&L or American Fender. I was looking for a beater/practice bass & refused to touch a Squier. Then I saw the Jag. Could not put it down. I owned a Fender Jazz tha…
Cort Action - "A great bass for beginner!"
It was my first bass and I've still got it today. I must say that choosing this bass was really a no-brainer because it is great value for the money. The PJ pickup configuration is imho the best to …
Fender Road Worn '50s Precision Bass - "Good Mexican bass for an old-school sound"
Some say Fender is overrated, but I really wanted THE ONE bass sound I could hear on the rock records that I listened to as a kid. Plus, I wanted a bass that was not needlessly complicated to use wit…

Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass - "Nice tone and well made but a little heavy bass."
I bought my first one back in 2006 with the Duncan Design pickups. After a heavy use in my band and in Church, I sold it for whatever reason. I made setups for some friends in my country and I alread…
Fender BXR 300 - "All-terrain amp"
It's the amp of my bassist (who doesn't have an Audiofanzine account). The amp is used both for rehearsals and gigs, it's relentless and has a killer sound. It's been with us since 1995, it has…
