SX vs Omega (Rondo Music)

[ecadad]

I'm looking for a cheap jazz bass, looking to spend under $200 (I know, I should spend more. Maybe someday).

Browsing Rondo music, I've noticed the new Omega bass line. Does anyone have any experience with this, or the SX line? Would I be better off getting some sort of Squire, either new or used? I haven't found much info on omega.

These are the two basses that interest me:

Omega EB-393 YL - RondoMusic.com

SX Ursa 2 MN Alder NA - RondoMusic.com


Which of these two seems better? And why? Thanks!!!

Ive got one of the SX Ursa 2 jazz bass and i enjoy it. Action came a mile high and the stock strings aren't great, but a set up and some new strings and I have been playing it almost exclusively lately.

The Omega is below the SX in terms rondo's lines. I have many SX basses, and consider them great values. I say get the SX... first. Then try the Omega.

if you want a five - they have the SX fiver in red on sale right now - I'm trying hard not to buy one...

For $99 (with thinnish gig bag) and a modest shipping charge, that bass is practically free. I keep one where I rehearse.
