the boy Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hi guys I've been offered a starcaster jazz bass are they any good. Are they fenders or are they more like squiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The Starcaster by Fender range is at the bottom of the pile beneath the Squire stuff. Not tried one but I wouldn't get too excited about them - they're generally sold as part of a beginners kit for about £200, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Cheers for reply it's going for £80 so I may have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlloyd Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I've tried one out in Costco of all places. I wouldn't give you £10 it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Haven't played the bass but have played their Strat equivalent like dlloyd in Costco. It was piss poor, you'd be better off looking for something else as I think the quality of these particular instruments is actually an insult to even a novice.

the boy Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 That bad? Wow thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yes, I'm afraid so. It's Fender moving into every sector of the market they can with no regard for the quality of their product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] They're an insult to firewood. I've never seen anything as bad that was being sold new. And I'm including the plastic ukulele I bought from the 99p store. Go back to the cheeky devil who offered you it and set fire to his trousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
