Members Mytola Posted April 14, 2009 Members Share Posted April 14, 2009 Not my cup of tea at all, really. I'd advise against buying new in that price-range too. You'll get so much more for your money if you go used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bryan316 Posted April 14, 2009 Members Share Posted April 14, 2009 You couldn't pay me to carry that to a garbage dumpster. I wouldn't burn it to start a house fire. Go looking at used gear, you'll find an axe that's 10 times more playable and reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get so much more for your money if you go used. For the asking price of that thing, what would you buy used instead for the same price? Seems to me that anything used of better quality is going to still cost a bit more than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bryan316 Posted April 14, 2009 Members Share Posted April 14, 2009 Used, they're around $150. If they're in good shape. Most aren't. Mine has been babied, and I still like it for when I need a straight-tuned bass. So I've been reluctant to let go of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't ever buy the one in the OP either. Those level basses seem to be for people who want the absolute cheapest they can find, regardless of quality, and would be hard pressed to pay much more for a better bass.

Members Bryan316 Posted April 14, 2009 Members Share Posted April 14, 2009 It's a garage sale bass. Nothing more. I'd rather save up the cash, camp out at the stores and tell the shop keeper, "HEY! This is what I'm looking for, this is what I can afford for a good used instrument. Call me when it walks in the door." That's how I got my Tobias. Ryan knew what I like, knew what I was looking for, and BAM. For HUNDREDS less than I wanted to pay. All because I was patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
