stuartielow Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Due to issues with singers hitting notes (or not) we have decided to drop to e minor tuning for a few songs. To save a bit of faffing around on stage, I'm going to use a second budget bass. I've spotted a tanglewood rebel 4k I like the look and price of. Can anyone vouch for these ladies?

stuartielow Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) £100 second hand job! Edited June 29, 2013 by stuartielow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellyfish Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 It's difficult at that price range, although I have no doubt that the Tanglewood Rebel's are good basses. If you added £50 more, you'd have much more choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 You might find a Westone bass within your budget. A Thunder/Thunder 1A/Thunder Jet or Spectrum. All decent, well-made instruments, eminently gig-able basses and better than anything else you'd find for £100 IMO. A Thunder Jet bass went on eBay recently for under £70, for example. I have a Thunder Jet bass with Seymour Duncan pup and a P-retro and it is a monster. The lower end models aren't fashionable and don't fetch anything like their worth secondhand.
