OliverBlackman Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If you really want a cheap one then the Warwick Rockbass 5's aren't bad but I would recommend something with an ebony fingerboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't go for cheap basses normally but......I came across this cheapy from Thomann.

ezbass Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 How much?!!! Difficult to go wrong at that price. The vid clips sound good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Another vote for the Warwick Rockbass Fretless 5 (Corvette in my case). Tiger Ebony fingerboard as well. Plus D'Addario chromes. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
