Hello from Wolverhampton

[luminousbrit]

Hi,

I have recently took up bass :-) I began taking lessons in December 07.

I started with a cheap bass from eBay and a knocked about guitar amp.

I now have a Stagg 40 BA amp and an Ibanez SR500 bass. I didn't realise how naff my first bass was until I tried the Ibanez!

Can anyone recommend a good acoustic bass for under £100?

Bye for now,

Good Morning!

Shame you didn't try out an Ibanez Jetking. (I'm currently desperate to find out what they sound like. )

Welcome to Basschat.

Welcome to BC

If you're local, you may be able to have my acoustic if my old school doesn't want it.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the offer but I live in Wolverhampton, a bit too far to travel.

It's a Keiper. 34" scale, with a Belcat preamp in it. I've had to replace the preamp as the original one didn't work, but the replacement, although the right size, is upside down relative to the original so it doesn't sit as flush on the body as the original. Basically, the two approaches are to have it not flush and the right way up, or flush ad upside down. The bridge saddle could also do with taking down a bit as the action's a bit on the high side. I found I didn't get on with the 34" scale, which was unfortunate as that was the reason I bought it...

Hi,

Thank you for putting the pics up.

I have just bought an Aria.

Hope you sell the Keiper soon.
