Is there any possible reason I would get this over a spark 2 or even a reg boss katana gen 3? I only ever play in my bedroom tbf and if it's just 200$ that won't hurt me too much down the line when I'm ready to get my first 50w amp methinks.

A bass is needed for a casual family band and it seems like it falls to me but I also can't help wanting to play guitar. A Bass VI seems to perfectly solve my problem.

Would a baritone guitar be better?

What are the best alternatives to Fender/Squier?

Thank you.
>>
>>130494861
A baritone might suit you better and you could play dumb if you're asked about it.
Firefly is a chinese brand that makes baritones at abt 250$ buckaroos occasionally and phil mcknight was a big fan of the one he was sent. Aside that, baritones can be stupid expensive as they're even more rare than 7-strings at this point.
The baritone's strings will also be thinner than what you'd need for a bass VI
>>
>>130494943
I’d get a Danelectro baritone before a Firefly.

Got the d-35s back after a setup. Very sweet sounding and definitely wants to keep the neighbors from sleeping.
Sounds exactly like all the folk music I was raised on.
Also makes me appreciate how much value you get on modern entry level stuff.

I played Bass VI in a 6 piece band, it was fun to do melodic stuff, but even with a bass amp an cab the lowend lacked heft or solid thump. Keep a 4 string bass handy
>>
>>130495294
Do you think that was because it was short-scale? This is also very casual, as in, we might not even make it to the first session. So a versatile instrument that I can still enjoy solo but also do its job as bass would be really perfect.
>>
>>130495334
It was much more mellow bass like in a The Cure song. The bass vi Ddadario strings are lighter and maybe the shorter scale had something to do with it. Compressing and EQing may help bring it out more.
>>
>>130495369
I will keep looking into this. Thank you very much.

Yes, nothing else can track your progress like Rocksmith. Yesterday I was only 28% Slash, and today I'm 37% Slash.

study players like jamerson, stu hamm, victor wooten, and anthony jackson. you don’t need a guitar, you can play all that stuff on bass (chords, counterpoint melody, voice leading etc)
>>
>>130495334
it’s a guitar pickup with the thinnest strings from a bass. it’s missing string mass and bass pickups are like double or triple the output of a guitar pickup

just get a cheap squier p bass and you'll be golden, can even go shortscale if you want to be a pussy and then you'll be in baritone territory without the downsides of it.
>>
>>130495334
>Do you think that was because it was short-scale?
nah, short scales are in fact a lot more thumpier than long scale basses since the shorter but still fat strings make for a much more bass-heavy tone, they will lack clarity if that's what you're after.
The reason your bass IV was not up to par is simply due to the fact that it's got guitar pickups and way thinner strings than a regular bass. Same reason why no 8 string or 9 string guitar can hold a candle to a real bass when it comes to low end.

you need to calibrate your guitar in the menu, when rocksmith asks you to check if your guitar is in tune before playing - hit calibrate

Does this generally tend to be true? Is it because only the last one is a 'jazz bass'? Is it even worth investing in a cheap bass (no more than $250) at that point?

>>130499279
If I get a ~$250 "jazz bass" will it sound obviously cheap no matter what, compared to an actual Fender?
>>
>>130499291
no, people can’t pick out cheap vs expensive pickups in a blind shootout and what’s even crazier is that very different bass designs will sound very similar when you go direct (which is often). the fenders even use the saf-t-tuners so even the chinkplanks stay in tune
>>
>>130499311
Thanks, because the video I posted was some "cheap vs expensive bass" slop but what they failed to mentioned was that only the last one was an (actual) "jazz bass". As long as it sounds at least 90% similar in a mix, layered with FX and everything else, then I wouldn't want to drop a dime on something I wouldn't frequently use anyway.
>>
>>130499311
You sound like you’ve been listening to seething mixing board monkeys.

Blind shootouts and spectre sound studios “i gave 2 nice guitars and a fugly meal babby plank with pot metal frets and a knock off floyd rose all a shitty 80s tone wow they the same! NOW METAL CHUGG!” videos especially are so fucking retarded. No shit recorded tones are samey. Recorded tones are boiled down, simplified, and meant to fit into busy rock mixes 90% of the time. You’d never give a shit unless it were an intimate jazz performance.

But what matters even more than the recording is
YOU
AND THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU
Not the fucking spotify audience and drunks hearing the PA in the back.

Musical instruments are PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. The nuances of the entire acoustic space that take 3 high end mics and masterful mixing to capture and can only fit on a solo track are still immediately audible to you, the person whose ARBITRARY AND IMMEASURABLE EMOTIONS drive the performance. Literally no recording and playback method on the mass market can capture how the guitar feels and vibrates in your hands either, but it still matters.

These blind tests are gear faggotry. They reduce a musical instrument into a soulless PRODUCTION TOOL.

Despite all these gear focused youtuber faggots, every successful artist continues to use nice feeling, nice to play stuff that sounds great in isolation - the mix can go fuck itself because its the engineers job to reduce it to fit it into a PA or onto a tape/mp3 file which can never EVER encapsulate the original reality, not convince people to come in pre-reduced. And they use what they love, not what the recording engineer considers peak sufficiency, regardless of cheap vs expensive or futuristic versatility and value for money vs traditional limitations and “relatively larger expense for how few FEATURES u get (AND HOW MUCH EXTRA WORK THE POOR SOUND GUY HAS TO DO) durrr”.

There is no short version. Passion doesn’t fit well into text. If it did, dostoevsky would have wrote shorter books.

Ignore gearfaggots and play what you love, not what a tech nerd who couldn’t get into creating music and settled for sliders and mics has determined to be close enough on tape. All of it is 100% different and inherently worth it in reality because every different piece of gear feels and sounds different in reality. Play what you love.

And remember, sound engineers are miserable failed musicians haunted by unreachable dreams who will never understand creativity, passion, and soul. The very notion of human feeling offends them and reminds them of everything they could not do. And yours, they want to control so they can pretend to be alive.
>For less than the cost of a Big Mac, fries and a Coke, you can buy a loaf of fresh bread and some good cheese or roast beef, which you will enjoy much more.
>>
>>130499435
It offers feeling and passion if you love that bass. They sell for $3000 because if someone loves it, they will buy it. Money is meant to be spent and music is meant to be loved. Don’t be a jew. Besides, if your investments can’t compensate for a little excess you’re a really shitty jew.

saxophone is my main instrument and theres a massive gap between a 100$ saxophone and 3000$ saxophone that doesnt seem to apply so heavily to bass or guitars

>>
>>130499570
Fenders problem is expensive stratocaster copies. Less plasticky feeling/looking finishes, stable wood, frets made of real fret wire, quality lutherie and non-undersized real metal hardware is a combo fender’s underpaid dispassionate mexican workforce can’t compete with unless executives and non-production employees (ie: social media engagement expert, professional idea guy) start getting laid off.

Just using wood from a barn door instead of a flame maple veneer is enough for an instrument to feel and look more real and fender’s boomer slaveholders can’t deal.
