Rainbowbat Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hello! I am new on here, haven't played bass since school, but really enjoyed it and want to come back to it properly once my course is over (3 weeks counting! ). Looking for advice on good beginners guitars and amps that aren't really expensive (~£100-£150). Will happily take second hand, so long as it still works well R.

T-Bay Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Trace Elliot kit is superb quality and very cheap, a decent combo can be had for around £100-150 depending on model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Welcome aboard mate. Check out Gumtree Highland, the music shops don't have that great a selection in stock, there's always the local Buy, Swap, Sell on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Welcome to Basschat. Good luck finding an amp. Should be plenty of second hand one to choose from. I suppose you want something that would be suitable for gigging as well as home practice? When I'm not playing bass I like to ride my motorbike. I toured Scotland last year and have fond memories of riding the A9 from Inverness one morning during an almighty rain storm. It was like the lights had been turned off and a waterfall appeared.

leftyyorky Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi, and welcome aboard, I'm sure you'll find a vast wealth of knowledge and guidance on here. With regard to bass guitars, I think that for the price range you are speaking of that Squier would certainly be worth a look at, you should be able to pick up a second hand precision or jazz bass and as a Sqier jazz owner myself I can vouch for the quality in that price range. Good luck with your return to bass playing and please keep us informed of your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callumjord Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Welcome aboard, Inverness is a great city with plenty of live music over the weekend. I'm not far away from Inverness (Elgin) and find myself playing there once every other month. Managed to source my bands PA system all second hand from Inveness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWRW1964 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hi there. I'm ex-Inverness (Drakies) now in Ayr. Also a newbie. Seems to be a lot of people with a lot of knowledge in here so should be both fun and useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. Love the Highlands in general. Cracking roads up North. NC500 being quite famous for all types of transport. I holiday at least once every year at Drumnadrochit. Been doing it since mid 90's. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 At this rate, we could set up a HIghlands Bass Bash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 There is a topic on that very subject already. Long long discussions maybe held in Perth but didn't really come to anything. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
