I'm Getting A Bass

[Luís]

I've been a guitar player for almost 3 years and I would like to get a drumkit, but I can't, I live in a flat, so I'm getting a bass guitar. Any suggestions on brands, packs, or something? I don't have much money to spent, but would like to get a nice deal in terms of quality/price

Cheers

well i don't know much about different types of basses, but i use this:

Bassguitar: Yamaha BB 404.
Amp: Roland cube 30 bass.

check here for pictures: http://wolfway.metpage.org/bass.php

the bass costed 380 euro i think, the amp about the same, can't remember. about 800 in total i spent on amp/bass/cable/...

i heard about much other people who were happy with this equipment. there are other good cheaper yamaha's aswel, but i think this is really a great brand to start with. i love it as guitar (have a cheap pacifica guitar but love it)

I hope that in no more than 2 days, im going to be buying my first bass guitar. This will be a Yamaha also, but the cheapest model, the RBX-170DBM and a peavey bass amp, all for about US$260.00.

Im an starter and i know that i wont go pro, so i think bying this bass will be enought for my requirements (and also my bank account heheeee)

Well, i bought the bass yesterday, but it wasn't the RBX170, instead i bought the RBX270, which sounds way far better that the 170. The color is red metallic, which is awesome!!

I'm going to buy also a new bass... I wanted a Rickenbacker 4001 but it isn't easy to find here so i'll buy a Fender Precision!
