As above.

Don’t get a tuner though. Get used to using your ears. A tuning fork is more than sufficient.

Thanks for that but I have been told that one is unavailable , and I have been looking at record shops around the south Yorkshire midlands area but no one seems to have one , so choose of 2 

Many thanks again for all your help i have narrowed it down to 3 to try they are all in stock at my local PMT shop, Before I go on Monday which is the best value and to play reggae and yardbirds type music cheers

Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Junior Jet Bass II SS £285 

Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Special SS Bass, £199

Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jazz Bass V £339 full size

Many thanks for all your comments and I will take a friend to a afew shops who does play guitar for over 30 years (not bass) and see what happens cheers all

Hi Thanks for looking at my Post

I have just gave up work and finally going to take up the bass.

I don't want to spend a fortune say around £200 - £400 for the bass and around £100 for an amp just because I may never take to it

So what would be the best bass for Reggae and Yardbirds type.  I have asked this questions as there are so many makes and different types short scale, full, and it as blown my mind 

So any advice will help, to help me choose a bass with that heavy bass sound 

thanks
