Hi All
Just got a bass as a birthday gift from my brother! After years of putting it off !! he picked it up from ebay or gumtree!
It's a peavey milestone 3 with a peavey practice amp bag & stand! Been teaching myself thro books & YouTube videos! Never played anything musical in my life!!
Was always wanting one but just a bit scared to spend the money & the thing turns into a dust magnet!!
Since the end of May I can't put the thing down & am hooked on it! Can play a few simple bass tunes & getting really into it! Obvious my biggest hurdle is training my left hand to be more flexible & each finger to be more stronger (one finger per fret) I know this will come with
Practice! Same as my poor wee fingers tips are taken a battering as they a get toughend up!
As I still have money left from my birthday I was maybe thinking on buying a new more expensive bass!
I have a budget of £400! £500/600 at a push! I would like a more crisp/tang bass sound! Been looking online at a Ibanez SR600-NTF Natural Flat I like the natural wood looking ones!
Or would I be better buying a better amp? Or effects box??
Or even hold of till Christmas to make sure am not just in a honeymoon period!
