Buying a "Toss around bass" need opinions
 

Hey all I've got two choices here...

A: ESP-LTD B-50FM

-OR-

B: "TOBY" by TOBIAS (Epiphone)

THANKS !!!!

ESP. I at least know what they look like...sort of.

Carrotts. There a lot of better root veetables that are cheaper and as good as ESP or Toby., Epiphone, chimese fender, MM SUB. There are a lot of under $200 bases nowdays that are nice players plus cheap enough that you won't worry about getting dinged up.

I've had an old 80s kramer striker p bass for like 23 years now, & it's my 'beater'; playing a questionable gig? Take the beater & leave the vintage p bass at home, LOL

Check Rondo Music and take a look at the SX Basses... Solid bodies and cheap...

P!

given the two choices i would go with ESP...recently purchased the Tody deluxe...and it needed a lot of work out of the box...

of the two the ESP is the better buy...own a few ESP basses and they are all great...really under rated basses...

Recently bought my son the B-55 for christmas it was excellent right out of the box

Out of those choices I'd get the LTD.
But I'd probably get an SX and maybe try and get a hold of one of their older necks, with the nice looking headstocks.

+1 I have a nice F204... One of my favorites to play...

Find something that's already dinged up, yet still a player. That way you know it can take your... er... tossing.

This. Might I suggest a pre-abused p-bass? They make mighty fine war clubs.

I wouldn't toss around either one of those got to be something cheaper.

Is it something you'll destroy at a show? Something you'll mess around with as far as electronics go? Not sure what you mean by toss around, I guess.
