thanks again for all the advice

Thanks for all the fantastic advice. What I've decided to do first is try this friend who is a bass player( as rightly pointed out not a base [ball] player) and see if he will let him try his collection of guitars and try and see if we can find the style of bass he likes, also do the same at a shop, then look for a good one on this site following your recommendations!! Now next on my list is listening to my daughter (classical guitar) and two friends , voice and flute, play Stairway to Heaven at the school concert. 14 year olds have no fear just wish they would practice a bit more. Thanks again for your time.

On the weight my son is a fairly strong rugby playing 12 year old and doesnt seem to have any problems with the weight of his current bass or others he has tried.

we are in west london. If I new anything about basses I would have a go at fixing it, but I am as likely to screw it up, and even worse not notice!

Thanks for all the advice. I do have another friend(newish) who is a pro base player so I could ask him to help, but I thought if I did that my son may end up wanting £1000+ bass!!

great thanks for the advice, but will it get my son playing 'sweet child of mine' any better!

thanks will look out for one

Hi My 12 year old plays bass and we were given/lent a bass, Crest Columbus. It is a bit rubbish, some of the pots dont work and it is very buzzy. My more knowledgable friend (mind he does play lead guitar) said it would cost more to fix than its worth, so I have been wondering what we could replace it with from the for sale section. My son is at grade 5 on the classical guitar and does a band workshop once a week so he isnt an absolute beginner. his current bass came with a Rocket 20B bass practice amp which has also seen better days. Any suggestions what we should go for? I guess it also needs to look the part! I was hoping to get away with spending under £200!
