Yeah, I agree with the above on the bass. How much have you got to spend first? personally I would go for an old school bass as you can get some serious quality for less. My other tip would be to buy a great bass and get a shitty amp rather than the other way round; although my theory that someone who starts on a shitty bass gets much better than usual when transferred to a good guitar has been sort of proved by my friend (but he has loads of bad habits).
Do NOT buy online, as your guitar should be experienced in real life before the buy. Ordinary bog standard leads cost £10, bass amps cost from £70 for a crap one to £1000 for the best gigging amp in christendom. Personally I'd go for the 70 squid then upgrade when you start gigging. |
