A Visit to the Music Store

On my way back from State Solo/Ensemble today, I decided to stop off at Bert Murdock. Now, Bert Murdock has a very large selection of just about everything. Today, I was checking out Bass Guitars, as I've been needing an upgrade for quite a while. The guy at Bert Murdock was very helpful, telling me what he preferred, what a lot of other people preferred, and the good ones of their selection, and let me try out a few.

I'm going to tell you a bit about two of the ones I tried out that I ended up liking.

First there was the Schecter Stiletto Custom 4 String. It's feel is amazing, and it's sound is very reminiscent of most Funk. This is my top pick for someone who likes to keep up a Funk sound. I'm not sure about any other sounds, but you could probably mess with the EQ to get a few sounds, but let me emphasize that this is best for Funk.

Secondly there was my favorite, the Ibanez SR500. This is a beautiful bass with a wonderful sound. The Bartolini pick-ups produce an amazing sound, and messing with the EQ can get you quite a few different sounds. It has a really nice feel to it, and is very comfortable to play on. This is something you'll want to get after you're finished with that beginner bass.

They are definitely ones you'll want to check out sometime or another if your a Bass player.
