Lew-Bass Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Anyone know if it's any good? The pickups don't seem great, but seeming though my budget is near enough £300 and without doing too much digging I've found it for £210, if I was able to get it and a very good pickup aswell would it be a good bass or is there better out there for my price range?

Machines Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I think there's a lot better for the price. What music are you playing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayFW Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Buy something second hand. You'll get something much better for your £300 that way. If you'd rather not buy secondhand (or are finding it hard because you're a lefty) , you'd do a lot worse than this for the money: [url="http://www.dv247.com/invt/40759/"]http://www.dv247.com/invt/40759/[/url] or this (matching headstock version of above): [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=1615"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=1615[/url] Edited March 2, 2009 by RayFW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have the est95 active and its nice to play - probably better out there for the money tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_bass Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Don't see the point in spending that much on a Vintage bass. Go 2nd hand as suggested, perhaps an Ibanez? A lot of bang for your buck. Or one of those new Squiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You might pick up a Musicman Sub4 for £300 - fantastic basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
