OK, I've been listening to a lot of progressive rock lately. Also listen to a lot of contemporary jazz.
Been through a recent YES phase and currently in a RUSH phase. I know, only two of the best bass players in human history (Chris Squire and Geddy Lee).
I want to start exploring playing bass, so I am looking at making a purchase.
I'm an intermediate-to-advanced level guitar player. I have an Axe FX II etc, so I have access to some bass amplification.
I tend to like bass tones that have a good deal of treble in them, not into the rumble the house sort of stuff. Loved a lot of the bass tones of 80s new wave artists. e.g. New Order and The Cure. Loved the tones of Ben Orr playing in The Cars, e.g., Moving in Stereo.
For electric guitar playing, I like guitar necks with fingerboard radii between 9.5 to 12; I can deal with Yamaha's 13.75 radius, but nothing flatter than that. I have no idea if that would also apply to bass playing also.
Any suggestions for a first bass guitar would be appreciated.
