Gibson, Fender, Ibanez top the list.
Brands have different levels of greatness when they make basses and guitars. Fender basses are revered, but Fender also put out some real terrible basses too. Washburn too puts out high and low end instruments. The best advice is buy one a notch better than your skills. You shouldn’t buy an instrument for $5000.00 if you are just starting out. If you are making a living from playing, you wouldn’t buy one for $100.00 either. My suggestion is play a lot of instruments and find one that works for you and produces the sound you like.
Gibson, Ibanez, Fender are the best by far, but if you are just starting out get something less popular because gibson and fender tend to charge thousands of dollars for guitars. go to zzsounds.com and you can look at the cheapest prices for guitars. Dont get something like a sears guitar because they are crap and the strings are horrible.
Jackson soloist with the 3 pickup configuration,by far my favorite guitar.But it will set you back 2 grand unless you are good at talking the salesman down.I paid $1400 for the last one I bought.The other guitarist in my band plays a Carvin,sweet guitar and serious value sounds way better than any modern strat,at about half the price.He paid $600,but he is good at talking the salesman down to.If you google Carvin,you should be able to sign up for a catalog,see they make the guitar customized to your specs.You can’t go wrong with them.As for basses my old bass player had a Fender Jazz,awesome bass,but he put a lot of $ into modifications to get it that way.He also had a Stingray,pretty cool but expensive.I use a neck thru Ibanez cost me $600,and it can rumble the floors with that Fender Jazz,or get the highs the Stingray can,but its a jack of all trades,you know what i mean?
