I have always had a bass around, mostly for my recordings. I had an old 60's
Hagstrom for about 30 years, then I bought a brand new Squier which I sold,
a used Gretsch which I traded for a parts Strat. About a week ago I picked up an
Ibanez Gio Les Paul looking short scale bass....this thing is incredibly great so far.
It plays nice, set up easily, and sounds really good. I was shocked because it was
a $125 used bass.
