not the fish, a Guitar. I want one that rocks, but isn't a bit too expensive. I'd prefer something from Guiat canter, since its about 4 miles from my house. And by too expensive, I mean in the 1,000 range. below that is fine.
Ibanez makes some great starter basses, I have one, they are relatively cheap and last quite a while
My guess is... $500-$800?
(lol who uses picks for a bass)
I do on occasion.
Come on. For what?
It gives a different tone and lets me play faster in some cases. But I use beastly 2mm picks.
