Best bass guitar to use for every genre?

Question

I need to know the best bass guitar for.. Punk, Hard Rock, Indie and Metal.. if there is a bass that plays all them. lol. cheers.

Answer 1

A fender p bass would be good.

Answer 2

i agree with Left-T, as usual, that schecter bass is excellent and much better than the fender at jazzy stuff.  i am a former schecter endorsee and a current fender endorsee, and i can tell you that for all around performance, the schecter will beat a fender.  however, the fender aerodyne p bass is pretty good, i got one for my little cousin a while ago.  theres also that new fender american p bass with the s-1 switching, however the action on that one is not as good as the aerodyne or the shecter.  rickenbackers are great, but not for everything, and you need to drop 2 grand for a new one.

Answer 3

Hey Joe

I agree that the Precision Bass is a good all around bass but not that good for slapping although, it does the job beautifully.

Check out Schecter 5 - string bass with active electronic. Surprisingly, they have good awesome punch, sweet mellow sound, and a very good action.

Oh.....and inexpensive as well !!!!

Your choice.... I like both of them.

Answer 4

Fender Precision. A great all-around Bass.  Can dial up any type sound with the dual pickupand tone controls.
