Backbeat G1 v G2

[mikegatward]

I’m contemplating a Backbeat after the weekend gig where as the gig went on I found it harder and harder to hear myself. Because of that I began fingering harder and harder to the point my fingers cramped up.

 

i figure if I can feel myself playing I might be less prone to this reoccurring. I know I need to work more on technique but in the heat of the moment theory can go out of the window.
 

A new G2 backbeat is £399 but there’s no used ones around. But there’s some used G1 units about for £170 ish

 

So should I try a used G1 unit first and upgrade if I like it ? - or just bite the bullet and get the F2 ?

 

Thanks in advance
