Music Man Bass

Wolf Music Man Bass Guitar?

Im planning on buying a Wolf KBM-120 4 string bass guitar, it has 1MB Pickup, and was wondering if this sounds like a good buy? Please comment as im hoping to buy this guitar, its looks like it would play well but im not too sure, please tell me if this is a good make or not.

Again (like in your other question), Wolf is not a very well-known brand, so it's sort of a gamble...you may actually get a nice instrument, but chances are good that its quality is fairly poor.

If you want a really good, reliable and fairly cheap bass, I'd look into Squier and Ibanez.

Squier: Try one of their Affinity or Vintage Modifed Jazz/Precision basses. Go Affinity if you want to save more money; however, the Vintage Modified series is widely held as Squier's best line of basses, and one of the best basses in this price range. Their Jazz basses are really versatile, and can sound good in almost every style of music. Precisions have a great sound for Punk/Rock, but aren't as flexible (not really a good bass for Jazz).

Ibanez: Try something from their GSR line, like the GSR200. There's also a version of the GSR200 with a Flamed Maple top - if you like the look better, go for it! The GSR line is like a cheaper version of the SR line, so it shares some of the same features - the necks are really slim and comfortable to play; these basses feel really nice.

The most important thing is to play the bass yourself before you buy it. Go to a music store with a few in mind, and play all of them. Find which one feels the best, sounds the best, and suits your needs the best - then you'll be set!

Hope you find what you're looking for =)
Cheers!
