bassfan Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Why does it have to be black... really will show up the swirls..... or have I missed something? I’m sure there’s a nice natural one on here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just really drawn to the colour black and i feel if i buy a colour i don't like i won't enjoy playing it as much, as sad as it may sound i feel a few can agree with me on this lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Nah, get the display one from Andertons and save yourself £75 or so (and they're doing a discount on the gig bags too, which are decent quality). You'll feel less precious about it and won't have that moment of heartache the first time you bang the headstock on the ceiling! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 And definitely get the colour you want 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s no physical damage I’d offer £325. Good luck learning. 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone say "strap" yet? 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Hope you are all staying safe They're both decent instruments. I think the choice comes down to personal preference... ideally by trying them personally in shops until you find THE ONE. REgardless of what you go for, I would budget a little extra money (i.e.: don't spend it all on the bass yet) to take it to someone who can set it up nicely for you, ensure all frets are levelled and the nut is cut correctly etc, to ensure it plays the best it can play.
