lojo Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I am wanting to get a DB to start to play on at home I am not concerned if this goes well or not, I am enjoying a playing electric bass in a few bands right now, and just wish to give DB a go My question is please, if anyone can comment I have been offered a 3/4 bass for £100, its been sitting for a few years in a friends, sisters garage (miles away), it has strings, no pickup and is a bit battered but plays No one knows much about it or has the knowledge to pass comment on its make/setup etc. All i know is they said if I am looking for one they will get shot of it for £100 Is this worth taking a gamble on?

geoffbassist Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 U can't even buy a decent set of double bass strings for £100. Sounds like a great way to start without spending lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeponehandloose Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 If its playable what have you got to loose.It would be easy to get your 100 quid back on a resale of a playable bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
