What are some good basses for cheap?

I might be getting a bass (I prefer 4 stringed) for X-mas. That’s literally all I want for christmas lol. So yeah, I had a Fender Jaguar bass in mind, but I’d rather have an actual bassist’s opinion on what sounds good to them. I’m looking for a smooth sound, kind of Jazzy but also with a Rock feel (if this is making any sense.) Any answer is greatly accepted.

Answer #1

Also any good Bass amps for cheap too?

Answer #2

Peavey usually has decent prices, and they’re bass guitars sound really good. I’m not an actual bassist, but I was married to one for a few years. He swore by Peavey. We always went to the local used dealers, and they ran around 200 bucks.

Answer #3

I’d stick with Fender. Either a P bass or Jaguar. They aren’t exactly cheap though, but it’s worth it to pay a little bit more for the quality you will get with a Fender. Especially if it is something you are passionate about.

As for amps, it’s best to go to a store and try them out, to find one which suits the tone you wish to achieve.
