treguard Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. Been thinking about playing bass for a couple of years now. Guitar Hero was to blame, but I just love the sound of it and think it's a cool instrument to pick up Don't have any equipment yet, but seem a couple of starter packs (probably not ideal). Dawsons sell 2, one is the Epiphone EB-O and I think the other is by Squier/Fender if that rings any bells. I love any kind of music really, but my least favourite is probably blues.

Machines Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi and welcome. I always thought anyone who loved Guitar Hero should do it properly ! Personally i'd go for the Squier started pack - the Epiphone is fairly limited in it's tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Howdy! Agree with Machines about the choice of Starter Pack...but you might do better, for not too much more, if you have a good local music shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treguard Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi guys. Cheers for the welcome and tips (yeah,hitting plastic buttons can only be so fun ). Tbh Dawsons always seem to've been a bit on the dear side. Luckily there are a few decent shops in Manchester. Preferably £230 for a guitar and amp for now is really my limit unfortunately, so will definitely keep on the lookout for second hand or local shops as you said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
