What kind of bass should I buy?

The answer to a question that I get asked all the time. Here are my thoughts on the matter. But don't take my word for it; go try it yourself and make your own decision!

hey himynameisjayme, what kind of bass is Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers use? THe kind of sound it makes it blowing my mind.

@Zelcibot He's played a lot of basses throughout the years; he was always noted for using a Stingray in the early years, and  a Modulus too. For Stadium Arcadium I know he used a 60's Jazz, but now I think he uses his own line of basses called FleaBass. Cheers!

You can find a used Fender Jaguar Bass for about $500. Very cool look for the Indie scene, basically the sound of a jazz bass, passive and active modes.

Thanks, I'm going to get a passive 4 string first because of the style of music I'm working on right now

What about 5-string basses tuned to E-A-D-G-C? A lot of players use those for versatility, especially soloists.
