Whats a good starter bass

[niteblade]

peninsula has a few offerings in your price range.

go look around and try them

my recommendation is to go test out some bass and try to find "your sound" and you can find something up to twice ur budget and wait for sweelee sale which is 50% off and get it there.. its a steal.. ^^

FYI try not to get starter set.. i got 1 and im kinda regretting it now..

Just my $0.02. I don't think a starter bass exists, although many instruments are marketed as such. Like many of the bassists in this thread, I still play the bass I first bought long ago. Basses, like all instruments, are unique, in sound, construction and quality, even in the same brand family and across different price ranges.

"Starter" just describes where you are at in your musical journey, or in learning to play an instrument. The OP knows the budgets and needs best, but my advice is to always get the best instrument you can afford, and to bring along someone who can at least help the buyer walk through the basics of playing and act as a reference check and mentor.

What I like about this thread is that here is another bassist beginning the journey. Welcome to the Low End Family!

hey guys, wanna know where to find the most range of SX bass?

the SX pirate looks cool.

 

[Slash04]

Davis stil has a pirate last i checked. The finish on that bass is teh sex.

As far as I know, Singapore doesn't have it. Davis brings in their starter kit but not other models.

You can go www.rondomusic.com to import the "higher" ends SX basses.

if you ever want to do so, contact me too! It's cheaper to import together, I feel like getting one cheap SX to play with too.

 

[Slash04]

Hey, contact me too, lol! Was looking through the rondomusic site again and man, they have some sweet looking basses.

 

[rickylah]

one guy told me he bought it from davis. sooooo they have it!

anyone tried the pirate series bass?? hows the sound like!?

 

[Greenie00]

I also interested to order a SX jazz from rondomusic. Let me know if anyone would call for a MO!

+1 I love my shitty Cort bass that had really bad action back when I had it. But I sold it away and regret every day..

 

[ainsley]

you shld try squier basses. although not in your budget but worth saving up some more. their quite good. my first bass is a Squier Precision Bass Vintage Modified bought at SL Sims Drive. Still using it, its really good. Dont think i'll ever sell it.
