Advice buying a Bass Guitar

RexMundi

Hello,

I am looking to buy a bass guitar, it being too expensive to get a double bass to replace the one I recently broke...

Anyway, does anyone have any advice? Unfortunately I have a rather restrictive upwards limit of €300.

I was looking on Thomann.de and thought saw these :

Anyone used this amp or bass?

Thanks in advance for any help

If you're buy online, you should firstly go into a music shop and see if can at least play the same guitar before you buy - see what it feels and sounds like.
I'm playing bass about 10 years and only last year did i switch to fender and can't see myself playing anything else for a long time. I'm not sure what you will get for your budget, maybe look into buying second hand but i wouldn't advise on buying from the picture of a bass
good luck with your purchase

Keep an eye on "adverts" here. At least then, you get to "try before you buy".
