Title: Buying a Bass
Post by: PS2_-'_'-_PS2 on January 16, 2007, 05:50:52 AM

Yo. Been playing guitar for a good few years (Just got a fender strat woo) and am thinking about buying a bass guitar for the sheer sexyness value. How does this one look?

http://www.guitar.co.uk/westfield/980-westfield_b1000_and_stagg_ca20b_bass_guitar_package?page=2

Pretty basic, but im not really looking to spent over £150 for the guitar, amp etc.

Ahhhh the good old Westfiled B1000.  I love its Contoured body design, Double body cutaway at neck join, 20 fret maple nack with rosewood fingerboard (Maple on pink), Black triple-ply scratchplate, One split single-coil pickup, 1 volume rotary control, 1 tone rotary control, Scratchplate mounted jack socket, and 4-in-line open back machine heads.

I also love the included amp, the Stagg CA20B.  It\'s got 1x 8 inch SP(20.3cm)/ 4 Ohms, 2 inputs (separately adjustable) for guitar(bass/ lead)/ keyboard/ drum machine/ mixer/ cassette deck/ CD player etc, Controls : Volume 1 & 2, Equalization: Low/ Middle 1(medium low @ 600Hz)/ Middle 2 (medium high @ 2 Khz)/ High, Headphones & external speaker outputs, Covering : black vinyl, Size(HxWxD): 34x38x17.5 cm - Weight 7.5Kg!!!

What an affordable bass guitar package for starting out!

I always liked the Fender Jazzmasters. There is another one too that Les Claypool played but I forgot what it was. If I wasn\'t feeling lazy I could find it and other basses I like in like 2 minutes :)
