Hi guyz,
I'm playing the guitar for like a year now. And I want to try the bass-guitar.
And I want to play some rock songs on it.
A friend of my said that I can get a better second-hand bass
for the same money as a new bass that is much worser.
So what do you guyz recommend?
What kind of bass are you thinking of? I though that
a fender standard p-bass would fit me. It kosts new about 500
euro. That is the amount that I wanna spend on it.
Rock-on,
Thx
I would recommend getting Jazz bass style of guitar (two single coil pickups) or something similar. It will give you most versatility and serve your rock style of playing well.
Browse ads for second hand American standard jazz bass, or american highway one jazz bass...Its ok to buy second hand, but you need to try out the guitar to see/hear how it plays and in which condition instrument is.
From new basses, I think this Cirrus BXP should fit your budget and give you most bang for the buck :

Its an bass with active electronics and pretty versatile sound wise. When I was searching for a bass in that category (price range) I couldn't find better sounding one. Downside may be huge battery consumption (weekly/biweekly battery changing) and possibly higher action. Try one out in stores if you can!
I used it in many of my lessons, check em out!
I would definitly go for a second-hand bass.
If you need a precision, get a second hand one, but DONT get second hand one unless you can try it. Try local ads in your town, and see if you can check the instrument. I wouldn't recommend getting second hand bass online, only new one.
Thx for all the advices!
I'll let you know if I've seen something.
