Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. Been thinking about playing bass for a couple of years now. Guitar Hero was to blame, but I just love the sound of it and think it's a cool instrument to pick up
Don't have any equipment yet, but seem a couple of starter packs (probably not ideal). Dawsons sell 2, one is the Epiphone EB-O and I think the other is by Squier/Fender if that rings any bells.

I love any kind of music really, but my least favourite is probably blues.

Hi and welcome. I always thought anyone who loved Guitar Hero should do it properly !

Personally i'd go for the Squier started pack - the Epiphone is fairly limited in it's tones.

Howdy!
Agree with Machines about the choice of Starter Pack...but you might do better, for not too much more, if you have a good local music shop.

Hiya, welcome.

Hi guys. Cheers for the welcome and tips (yeah,hitting plastic buttons can only be so fun ). Tbh Dawsons always seem to've been a bit on the dear side. Luckily there are a few decent shops in Manchester. Preferably £230 for a guitar and amp for now is really my limit unfortunately, so will definitely keep on the lookout for second hand or local shops as you said
