Thanks guys for the replies. Right now my first choice is going to be the ESP Viper. It comes with a nice hard case and strap for $175 and the guitar retails for about $280 so it's a pretty good deal. I saw that guitar center sells those "starter packs" and that's nice but the closest Guitar...

Sounds like I should forget about the Rogue then lol. As far as the Ibanez I just saw that Guitar Center sells them for $200 new which is what that guy wants. Those ESP LTD Viper 104's sell for $280 new so $175 seems like a good deal. Oh, I don't buy off Ebay though. Plus I'd want to...

Hey guys, I recently decided I wanted to learn to play the bass. My dad plays the acoustic guitar so I've always wanted to learn and the bass has always been the most appealing guitar to me. Anyway, I looked on craigslist and found a few. I was going to buy a '95 Peavey Foundation until I...

Thanks guys this is really helpful. My dad plays lead (acoustic exclusively) which is what made me want to learn. He tried to teach me on his guitar but he doesn't know how to read sheet music or anything so it was difficult for him to teach me. Anyway, he didn't know much about bass guitars as...

Thanks! Are the 90s models any good? Worth $275? I saw a couple Epiphones on Guitarcenter's website for $300 new. One being a Les Paul and the other a Thunderbird IV. Which would I be better off getting for my first bass? I have small hands by the way.

Hey guys this is my first post. I'm looking at buying my first bass and I have found one on craigslist that looks pretty nice and is decently priced. After doing some research though I'm seeing that some are better than others based on the period. Here's a link to the post so you can see some...
