Dear readers,
I'm in dire need of a bass guitar to do some recording with. Just writing guitar parts doesn't really cut it for me anymore, so I want to track bass to make my writing sound fuller and give me more space to noodle around with the guitar without it sounding thin or empty on the high registers.
All I need is something with that I can downtune to ADGC and it needs to be inexpensive, but good enough. 5 strings isn't really necessary. From what I read the Ibanez SR300 fits my needs, but I am concerned about two things:
1) Will the 34 inch scale length be long enough for my low A?
2) Can I put enough tension on that oh so thin neck to accomodate the low A? I'd like to put a fairly heavy guage string on it to have it not buzz.
