[/quote] Correct - plus it has a tuner built-in. Have a look at the specification details on the Zoom website. PMT are selling them for £49.

Roger2611 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hi Sam and welcome, I would definitely look for used gear...... I have been hugely impressed with a Mike Dirnt Squire Precision I picked up very cheaply a couple of years back for all of £70.00 (it was unplayable at the time the set up was so bad) it is still one of my go to gigging basses, as long as a bass is set up well you should be able to enjoy learning to play on it. Amp wise I was very impressed with the 100W Roland Bass Cube, not overly expensive nowadays (there is one on Evilbay for £130.00 at the moment) I gigged with mine on quite a few occasions it will stand up to a drum kit providing your drummer is not stupidly loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerley Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 A good tip if buying used if to set up a search on eBay using location. Set it with 25 miles of your post code and look for collection only items (which a fair few basses and especially amps are) The advantage of this is that the items go for a much lower price due to the much more limited number of potential buyers as a lot of people can't be bothered to travel. Prices can be lower to the point that I keep and eye out and buy stuff to just to sell for a profit by selling with postage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samfordia Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 So much great advice on here. It is all such a huge help when I have nobody else to ask. I am taking everything in I thank you all. Jellyfish - Thanks for going to the effort of searching for basses for sale and supplying the links, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
