Went out on the dog walk and realised I was asking silly questions
Does this fit more in the "third amp" category like the Yamaha th amps? My only amp is a eden combo that's 225watts, I was hoping for something smaller for house jams
Bit the bullet over Thomanns guitar day offer. I wanted something small to bring with me to work on public transport and then on to a pub for a folk / uke jam night.
This has really surprised me, it's great fun and has a huge sound.
Delighted to have it as a couch bass too
I should add, I've a u bass on the way, hopefully arriving Monday, once it's in good nick, I'm happy to make arrangements with you, as long as your ok with that
What do you do for strings? Short scale ok or cutting down?
Tbh this for a season of busy work, to have a grab and go bag, mini bass, bdi21, clip on tuner and di cable
Around and under 200 quid.
If it's a gig bag on a bus, I don't want to be worried about dings
I didn't know Harley benton offered a mini,
Need to check out string availability
Long story short I'm looking at picking up a smaller bass to bring with me on a tram and a couch ride (to and from work) to get to practice.
I want to keep it on the cheaper side so no mayones mini bass here.
If I can order it direct the better as waiting for a 2nd hand item local is a pain.
Debating between the following
1. Harley benton pb shorty 30" scale
2. J&d short scale bass 29" scale
3. Flight mini bass
3 u bass
I'm not sure if the difference of 30 Vs 29 inch scales would impact string choice either.
Is there anything I haven't thought of?
Seemingly Irish s/h prices are mental, 300 euros for a second hand sr300😭
Last year I managed to pick up a Harley benton deluxe gotoh with foam case and flats for 130 which is amazing in both price and fit and finish, it's my most gigged bass as my atk sits on the stand.
I'm buying my son his own and he's firm on wanting a j style bass
