TyrantSong Didn't kill nobody. Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Atlas, PA Posts: 144	So I've got a 5 string Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass, and while it's quite comfy and produces a sufficient sound, I feel like I want something a bit...funkier. I'm also thinking of moving down to a 4 string. Any suggestions?
