Thanks we're going to have a look at it tomorrow as it seems to be the closest one that he likes the look of.

Thanks for all the replies we really appreciate the help. We went with him to a couple of shops today. After looking around and sitting holding a few he preferred the slimmer body electro acoustics particularly the single cutaway ones, the Yamaha APX600 was his absolute favourite but it's £299 so a fair bit over budget unless we can find one used. Shame he's so set on that style as there's loads of Yamaha F310 on Facebook marketplace for £50 🤣 So far the search to get the style he wants at a price his mum agrees with has so far turned up a Tanglewood TW4 Winterleaf, an Ibanez AEG50, an Ibanez AEW32 and a Cort (not sure of the model number) all used or the Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-16SCE BK which is new. Has anybody any opinions on these options or any other suggestions for a slim bodied single cut electro acoustic.

Thank you we'll have a look!

A friend is looking for an acoustic or electro acoustic guitar for her son. Budget is around £200 maybe slightly more if needed she's open to new or 2nd hand as he's about to start lessons at school. He's 13 so I'm guessing she'll be looking for a full size rather than 3/4. She asked me for suggestions but I really don't have a clue so thought I'd see if anyone on here had some brands or specific models they would recommend we'd really appreciate it.

[quote name='Bassmonster' post='139098' date='Feb 12 2008, 09:19 PM']i have the 5 string version of that bass, and i quite like it, although completely different from the warwicks made in germany the build quality on these is generally good (the early ones had a few QC issues, but warwick have addressed that), the necks are quite thin, so they are quite easy to play there about 270 new so 150 is pretty reasonable, but i suggest you try a few different basses out for comparison and see what suits, there are some pretty good basses out there within a similar price range, such as Ibanez and yamaha for example[/quote] Thanks i'm going to see it tomorrow so hopefully i'll know if it feels right for me when i play it.Might tke a trip to a music shop first and try a few different basses so i can get some comparison before i go.

Hi all,Newbie to this forum and pretty much a newbie to playing bass! I've been offered a Warwick Rockbass Corvette Basic for £150. The guy who bought it mainly plays guitar and wanted to try bass. He never really got into it so now he's looking to sell it as he needs the cash.He's had the bass around 3 months and still has original receipts and box. Has anyone got one of these or got any opinion on them? I don't want to buy it then find out i made the wrong choice or paid too much.I've only been playing a few months and mainly play rock or blues music.
