steviedee Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hello folks looking to pick up a cheap but half decent fretless for taking abroad. Saw one of these for £180. Potentially some give on the price. Not clapped eyes on it but apparently in good nick. Is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I've got a Squier VM series bass, and it's great! Haven't got one for sale, but I'll vouch for the quality and value for money of one of these basses mine was fretted, and I converted it to fretless with a Squier VM fretless neck - both necks have been great and the bass worked well in both guises You see them going second hand for reasonable money Good luck with your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom5string Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Tried one of these the other day - fretless - and was really impressed by sound and playability. Go for it, seems to be a good instrument. You might discuss on the price, in Germany they sell for 300 Euros new ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'd say that's a pretty good price IMHO You may want to look around - I have seen one or two a little cheaper But that's still a great instrument for that price....

steviedee Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I went to see it. The bass was in cash converters it wasn't in bad nick but I just got a bit of a bad vibe so decided against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Shame steviedee maybe the bass had been mucked about with, by someone who doesn't know what they're doing .... or was the bad vibe from the Cash converters staff? Give another one of these basses a try That's my advice... Good luck with your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
