    Hello,

    I am looking to buy a bass guitar, it being too expensive to get a double bass to replace the one I recently broke...

    Anyway, does anyone have any advice? Unfortunately I have a rather restrictive upwards limit of €300.

    I was looking on Thomann.de and thought saw these :

    Anyone used this amp or bass?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    If you're buy online, you should firstly go into a music shop and see if can at least play the same guitar before you buy - see what it feels and sounds like.
    I'm playing bass about 10 years and only last year did i switch to fender and can't see myself playing anything else for a long time. I'm not sure what you will get for your budget, maybe look into buying second hand but i wouldn't advise on buying from the picture of a bass
    good luck with your purchase

    Keep an eye on "adverts" here. At least then, you get to "try before you buy".
