My Current Go-to

I don't want to be misconstrued - by no means am I saying this bass is some hidden gem! But for someone who's been playing (as of writing this) less than a year, I've become greatly accustomed to playing. I think the beauty of short scale basses like this is that they give you much more in the mids so if you want a punchy tone - this is great! I see a lot of people call this a good beginner bass and while I don't think that's wrong, I also feel like I'll probably stick to using this above the other guitars I have, or will have, on the future. Again, the more prominent mids are perfect for the kind of sound I like to play within and overall, it's comfortable to use and sounds amazing for the price! The only issue I have is that as far as the set up goes, it leaves a little to be desired - I have the neck perfectly set up and even so, I need to have the action higher than I'd like because otherwise, the fretbuzz becomes so unbearable, anything higher that the 14th fret becomes a pain on the ears! But besides that, it's a great bass that is also very affordable!

Preferred Settings + Usage:

P Pickup - 10 J Pickup - ~6 Tone - 10

Amp settings (I use the Orange 25W bass amp): Treble - 7 Mids - 6 Bass - 5 Frequency - 6 Pad: off

I mainly play punk and emo and this gives me a punchy sound, especially with a pick, and is also ideal for me when it comes to playing chords!
