Hello from Manchester

[zoglug]

Thought i better say hello after signing up last night.

This is the bit which will shock though.....i dont actually own a bass guitar! Ive been learning/playing guitar now for the past 8 months and own a Cort Z42 and a Crafter GAE 15, but im looking to branch out a little further and pick up a bass to give it a go and broaden my horizon. I stumbled across this site after i stuck 'bass for sale' into google.

Ive had a quick browse around, there is definitely a lot of info im trying to take in, and im sure ill be guided along to the perfect base when i work out my budget and what im actually after!

Cheers

Yeah, you bettah say hullo!

Welcome to BC!
Sounds reasonable in these moderne net times that you should investigate some first. Just save money till you have roughly 5K quid ready, and we'll sort out some rather OK basses for you.

Enjoy!

best,
bert

Welcome Zog,

There are thousands of basses so it can look quite daunting but by filtering out what you don't need it'll come much clearer. My first bass was whatever i could afford and it wasnt much. But i would say, look at the style of music you want to do and how much of a budget. 4, 5 or 6 or more strings? easy! The for sale section always has good stuff.

Cheers Leen.

Hiya Zog

Bass is the way lol. Most of us do alot of looking before we commit ourselves. Depends how far you want to take it I suppose.
Good hunting

Cheers for the welcome!

Busy at the moment trying to understand whether I want jazz or precision, active or passive pickups! Solid body or hollow body! So much to take in, but a lot of answers I am finding around here!
