SX starter bass pack

[NoobCake]

I'm thinking of getting one of these, either BG1 Or BG2 from SX.

Which is better? Or if not can someone recommend another brand of versatile basses which cost around 250-300 with the complete kit?

grab a squire! then again some of the softies do sell great bass at your price range

hmm

i had a fren hu bought the sx starter set..
now he regret it alot since the fretboard got prob.

i think sx is fine but u shud not get its starter set.
anyways, there are a lot of better basses which are cheap and better than sx.
try timbre from standardvalue.... their tone kills!

 

[NoobCake]

Cause actually the starter bass set also comes with an amp tuner etc etc. The next cheapest one i saw was for 399, cant remember the brand.

 

[splintersfury]

well it all comes back to ur own decision..
anyways, if u decide to buy any kind of bass, the most important thing is to check and test the bass. every copy might have diff flaws...

 

[subversion]

instruments in the lower rungs of the brand name's offerings are often inconcictent in QC- i've come across both the guitar & bass starter packs by SX, they are ok. just check them before buying.

How about a Timbre JB-800 Jazz Bass? It cost $290, great for starter also http://www.standardvalue.com.sg/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=269

Oh and btw they're having year end sale, for Timbre 20%, so you can save quite alot at there also

hi thorn how much it cost u the bg2 pack?

 

[MutantBanana]

Only get SX if it is in the 100-200 range or so. If not might as well get something better secondhand.

$250.
I didnt like it.. you are better off saving $100 more and get J and D bass at music theme with $50 amp.

I personally don't think the starter packs are good.
Go for SXes that are of 70's and 60's copies.
Anyway, does anyone know how or where can I ask to import certain SX bass models? Especially those from Rondo Music. According to a lot of reviews, they are of good quality and has good tone.

a few of us softies may be planning a mass order from Rondomusic, since Davis, despite being the distributor for SX, was unwilling to bring them in for us. look out for it.

 

[Jaydenial]

that SX jaguar copy from rondo sure looks tempting!

 

[velvetrevolver]

^ it sure is pal. too bad i aint got cash now. i hope them guys get another mass order sometime at the end of the year, then the 2nd round of us can get it too.

suggest you get a ibenaz soundgear from JB city sq.
RM750...
at least it was IBANEZ should be better than sx

 

[edyeo123]

ok. maybe to widen ur choices, i would say try the Stagg, Ltd and Aria basses also. They are quite good too.

If u still wanna stick to SX, don't go for the starter pack. Try out the SX pirate series instead.

Go for stagg. Great value for money. Got one Jazz Bass for $299 and never looked back. it is a bass worth keeping and gigging with. For the remaining $1, you can either save until abt a hundred to get an amp, or you can get multi effects/pandorra(second hand) which you can run your bass into and out by ear phones. Neighbours wont complain that way.
