[quote name='The Funk' post='33038' date='Jul 17 2007, 01:46 PM']Wesley do a nice starter bass for £100. My guitarist recently got one after I had a look around at budget basses for him. It's pretty decent, it turns out. Put on a good set of strings and you could comfortably gig with it. That means you wouldn't need to think about upgrading for a good few years.

I've a Tanglewood Acoustic/Electric bass and am looking for a solid body to compliment it. As bass isn't my primary instrument a good budget model will suffice. Why would you opt for a Wesley against say a Washburn T14 or low end Yamaha RBX? Just curious really. No "axe" to grind against Wesley. :-)
Learning a bit about the bass has also helped me with my guitar playing. I'd be interested in readers recommendations too as to a good inexpensive bass - beginner or otherwise.
Many thanks
