anyone know a good place to find good, cheap bass guitars.
I've checked on Ebay and i can get the same bass cone plays for 100 bucks after shipping and all,
and i've seen a few cheaper.
i know sure as hell i aint buying it from the manufactururer.
i saw somewehre today a bass that was over 3000 dollars, then i google searched it and found exactly the same one for like 1500 less somewhere.
but yeah, i'm not made of money.
once i get my job, i'm gonna save up.
where should i go to buy a bass? (my local guitar shop sucks, it's all rediculously over-priced)

Re: good, cheap basses
If you want one thats cheap and looks like Cones go for the Squier Vintage modified P bass, good quality at a cheap price. It is also a pretty light weight bass which i see as a bonus. http://www.squierguitars.com/products/s ... 0326800505

I love mine but it was poorly wired and whenever i'm not touching any metal parts on the bass it makes a faint constant crackling sound. ![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)

that bass fucking pwns (especially for it's price).ChapStick wrote:If you want one thats cheap and looks like Cones go for the Squier Vintage modified P bass, good quality at a cheap price.

if you get that one i recommend to change the strings. the ones that come with it aren't really that good.
here's a good guide on how to do it http://www.tunemybass.com/strings/bass_ ... s_faq.htmlBudgie wrote:i kinda get the same thing with my E string.ChapStick wrote:I love mine but it was poorly wired and whenever i'm not touching any metal parts on the bass it makes a faint constant crackling sound.
