guitar for under £150(bass or electric)

[» Magic «]

I need me a decent Bass -or- Electric guitar for under £150, I only recently got into the bass and got the hang of it quick - But I need one for home currently only can play at school which teases me -.-

My Desktop Amplifier supports Guitar jacks, so no amp is needed but ya

I also need advice for when I spend over £150 on a decent Bass or Electric, Aka which makes to steer away and which make to steer toward

yus I'm newb no maek funz

Har you go. Since £100 = $160, this guitar could do nicely for you. Then of-course, this is a new one. The site which I linked you to, guitar center, also ships to the UK/Europe last time I checked. So it may cost more £ for shipping costs.

But I don't really think there are many bass's under £100 for you. But if you save up to £230 or so (equivalent to $360 USD), you could pick up one of these:

I used an online USD to Pound converter, so I dunno if the prices are accurate...

You can start on cheap fender knockoffs.
That's what I had for 3 years, it wasn't the best but it served me well.
It was around $150 US. Came with an amp though.
Next step should be determined by your style of playing and comfort. (Comfort meaning size weight etc. I got an ibanez, which has a much smaller fretboard)

Beh, I'm not sure how a Ibanez handles for rock, so ask deacon about it. He has one. I'd just prefer one of those used, fender affinity bass's. They're pretty cheap and in good quality.

they often have cheap little ones like the fender i have
or perhaps a used section

several examples. just set to your price range, look at all the solid body fenders

if you can, do guitar. its simple enough to learn basic bass techniques that you can switch. but if you switch back to bass, please, learn to use your fingers. you can only do so much with a pick

OOO
Just my preference, I like the 2nd one alot...
also, it has a review, the other one only got 4 stars because a guy was frustrated with some other company.

your choice lol, but i think with the first you may be paying for the bodywork (the fancy shape and all)
