Good bass guitar for beginners?

[NoobCake]

Alright so I wanna learn the bass and I'm thinking of getting one. What is a good and cheap brand for me to consider, with a buget of about $300? And also how is a Timbre PB-800?

maybe u got mixed up between guitar and bass. maybe u can ask a moderator like subversion to move this thread to bass section ie http://soft.com.sg/forum/bass-rookie-corner/

hmm 300 can get a 2nd hand ibanez SRX/ SR series bah? Quite common so maybe you can get it ^^ Timbre is a budget good quality brand, good for beginners and maybe any level of players... I don't know why many people didn't choose Timbre as their 1st geetar xD Maybe it hasn't hit the market yet :roll: Get my timbre pb-800 pls! :mrgreen:

you might wanna save up a lil bit more and get a squier. a brand new one costs around 500+ and the tone of the squier basses are more than decent. BUT thats just my opinion. my first bass was a squier and i didnt regret buying it.
