orangepeelneil Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Anyone tried one of these? They look quite good for £229, you don't seem to have much choice in the UK for budget semi basses.

Musky Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Good price for a semi. As you say, budget priced ones are thin on the ground. Personally I'd preferred to have seen a symmetrical headstock on this, as the present one looks a bit too modern for the style of bass. Given the brand name I assume it's Gear4Music's own?

BigRedX Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Looks good, but I don't see a scale length given in the description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've no idea about the Sub Zero, sorry, but in that price range I'd be looking at second hand. For around £250 you should be able to pick up a Yamaha Bex 4 or an Ibanez. I can vouch for the Bex 4 being amazing value for money as I own one and the Ibanez basses in general are usually on par with Yamaha, both make really great 'budget' instruments.

basskit_case Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I like the look of the Milwaukee bass. http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/SubZero-Milwaukee-Bass-Natural/TUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Just noticed this, only needs the nut sticking back on but you'll have to be quick.
