I’ve been there, they seemed a perfectly reasonable shop to me.

Welcome - try listening to Motown and stax too. HB are highly respected here

To clarify - GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) will get you in its evil jaws. Some people own basses for just a few weeks before moving them on in favour of something else that is equally/more shiny. If it’s of reasonable quality it will do, whatever it’s price tag. Even cheap stuff is decent these days and there is enough experience here to advise how to make it better than that. i would never spend your budget on a bass even now. £500 is the most I’ve ever spent on anything and that got me (admittedly with some luck) into US fender/German-made Warwick territory.

Take someone from here with you if you can. Second hand US or jap fender would get my vote for less money than you’ve got ready

Mine had no scratch plate and wasn’t active otherwise it looks broadly similar. It’s not a bad price for a shop- 88 replies

There we go, we’ve just got him calmed down and you go and stir the pot....

Nope final stage is always a good buffing with powdered sunlight, which has to be made by elves and only then on Wednesdays

You’re right - it really needs something to make fenders look overpriced, they’re don’t look that way when viewed on their own...

No, then it will look s h I t

“precision-like” Sound is a fairly wide church you know, in the way that someone might say that a car sounds “a bit like a vw golf”

Don’t tell @Andyjr1515 he’ll turn it into a fretless les Paul with jazz pickups ... and a tug bar with a butterfly inlay
