Can anyone identify this bass?

Hi all, 

I'm thinking of buying a bass guitar. I've not played any any instrument for 25 years after giving up the clarinet at age 11!

 

I've found this on facebook market place and I love the colour. The seller doesn't know the model number, can anyone tell me what kind of bass it is, if it would be ok for an asolute beginner and if paying the asking price I'm having my pants pulled down!

Thank you!

Of course, sorry!

 

Other than Stagg, I'm lost!

 

The quoted price is £125, this is around the budget I was considering until I decide its the hobby for me!

It's a Stagg Fusion model and is also available in short scale (30") and that does look like it might be a SS. Price seems OK (eBay have a couple around the £135-£200 mark). Stagg stuff is entry level, but normally quite serviceable. Short scales aren't a bad place to start and there is a real trend towards folk using them more and more, myself included.

I remember the Stagg short scale BC300's being about £159 - £179 when they first came out. Confusingly there was a 34" scale version too but the short scale ones were really good for the money. Only ever saw those in black and natural. Bright pink is a new one on me!

For a £125 budget I'd suggest a new Squier Debut Precision bass.

From what I've read it's a decent bass for the price.  Direct from Amazon and a choice of Sunburst, Black or Red.

If you didn't know, Squier is the budget brand of Fender.

 

As someone else mentioned, Harley Benton is a great option for a beginner bass, probably better than the Squier and a little cheaper, however I think the relative ease at which you could resell a Squier if playing bass isn't for you, is a big plus.

Stagg is not a brand that is well considered. It’s generic for all sorts of instruments made in the far east and badged Stagg. For £150 look on the marketplace here for a brand that is a guitar maker. Many instruments are made by far east factories and then badged but QC by the brand.
