[font="Tahoma"][center]could you use a guitar valve head for bass if you had a bass cab? sorry if i'm wrong I'm not a expert on amps! [/center][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][center]yeah I think I will the people on this forum really are as good as you say they are:)[/center][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][center]Thanks for the advice i was a bit weary about buying second-hand as a mate of mine got a really dodgy guitar once but the people seem quite friendly here[/center][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][center]thanks for the help there not as good a deal as I first thought then:( oh well,back to the search(vintage look good)[/center][/font]

I don't know Ashton's availability over here but I'd have a serious look at these instead which are pretty good - [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintagebass.html"]http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintagebass.html[/url][/quote] Bit out my price range .but they look great[/center]

I'll end up doing some modding but is the woodwork,fretwork and finish good?

[center]Has anyone had any experience with them? I'm interested in this model [url="http://www.ashtonmusic.com.au/productView.asp?productID=399&colourcodeID=60"]Specs[/url][/center]

Thanks for the help guys

Bumb,so anyone know any good brands??

[quote name='kingforaday' post='508451' date='Jun 8 2009, 07:01 PM']not sure about where to get an SX from but why not check out the for sale section here for your 1st bass? unless you've got your heart set on an SX? you could get something pretty decent for not alot of money 2nd hand, there's a peavey fury in the for sale section for £150 and a few Squier VMJ's which are great value for money[/quote] Thanks for the tip I didnt scroll down enough(i'm such a nooblet lol) i'll take a look

[font="Tahoma"][center]Hi to all, I have just come from the world of six strings and I'm looking to get a dirt cheap bass to muck around with.I have looked at the sx basses but as I live in the UK there impossible to get the good ones, that are not the 21 fret starter packs.I have thought about buying one from rondo but the shipping is expensive and by the time the tax man has caught up with me it will be out my price range I will play mostly rock and a tad of funk if anyone else knows any decent brands in that price range with good UK dealers your ideas would be greatly appreciated [/center] [/font]
