Sanuuu Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) [size=4][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Hello everyone,[/font][/size] [size=4][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I'm new both to this forum and to bass playing (sort of).[/font][/size] [size=4][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]So there's this thing - I'm an overseas student in England and I decided to start playing bass. I need to get a guitar, but I already have an old apm back home. The amp is Hartke b120 and it would cost around £55 to get it to England. I was wondering whether I should go for getting it here or maybe sell it and buy something else in UK. My tiny budget for both the guitar and amp/amp transportation is around £300-£350 (of course more if I manage to sell the amp). [/font][/size] [size=4][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Also in general, is that Hartke any good? I don't really have the equipment (guitar) and the playing skills to test it properly. I want to play some jazz if that helps at all.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Cheers!

Mr. Foxen Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Probably best hitting the for sale section or wanted ad here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanuuu Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 You mean I should not bother with getting the old one to England at all and just buy a second hand one from someone here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Personally, having done a bit of shipping between counties, I wouldn't bother with shipping. £350 can get you decently setup with something playable from this forum. For example if I was going to get started today I would get this: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173768-1982-ibanez-blazer-pics-up/ and this http://basschat.co.uk/topic/138648-vox-escort-50-bass-amp-price-reduction-now-only-l100/page__p__1609489__hl__vox__fromsearch__1#entry1609489 sorted.

Sanuuu Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hmm... The Ibanez looks really nice. I'll PM the owner asking for more details. As for the amp - collection only from Nottingham and sadly that's quite far from my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 yeah, but have a look around, something will come up if you're patient. I thoroughly recommend that blazer btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
