For my second attempt, I tried to learn by practicing the scales that I learned the first time. And, I tried to play songs using Rocksmith for my xbox...I know that probably sounded super lame, but that's what I did. I don't think it worked well for me because I didn't feel like I was actually...

I am considering trying to pick up the bass again...but, this would be my 3rd attempt. A few years ago I bought a good beginner bass (Ibanez GSR 200) and even had 1:1 lessons. The lessons were okay, but it got expensive for me. Honestly, I didn't get too far. I was pretty much just practicing...

So, I made the trip to the Omaha GC today so that I could get my hands on a few of these and see how they sound. I “tested” out some sub $200 basses from Dean, Ibanez, Yamaha, and Mitchell. Of all the basses, I might like the Mitchell MB200 best. I thought it had a good feel and sound. But, to...

No, I don’t have an amp. And, yes, I did want cheap just to play at my house to even see if I can get the hang of this before buying a more expensive bass.

I called GC about the SRX500. He can’t find it in the store...always good to call before buying online.

Thanks. I'm so new to this that I had never heard of Reverb. Thanks, I'll check it out.

I like the $109 price of the rogue lx200 and possibly the dean. Any thoughts on those?

Sorry to post another one of these. Hope I don't get too much crap for it. I'm getting back into this and my budget is tight. I could spend $200, but I'd honestly like to spend less...in the less than $150 range. I'm also tossing around the idea of new vs. used from GC. Here's what I found: 1...

Wow...I definitely didn’t expect to get this number of responses! I thought I’d get maybe 6 or so. I’m blown away by the forum, and I appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement.

I am 43 now. I tried learning the bass 2 years ago. I like it, but I just didn't practice enough and didn't learn more than just a few cords. I had an Ibanez GSR200 that I actually got on Ebay, new for $140 shipped. Unfortunately, I have since sold it. Over the past 2 years, I was thinking...

I'm actually in Nebraska! I just happened to come by a Laney at a store. When I checked them out, I saw that they were mostly over in Europe. It seemed like a good deal because it's 65 watts. I didn't want to "outgrow" a 10W amp too quick. I might just go with a small, new amp just to produce...

As stated in the title, I am just beginning; just got an Ibanez 200 GSR, now I need an amp. I would really like to keep my costs down right now and spend less than $100...then if I get really into this, I will get a better amp later. For $100 or less, I can get a used Laney 65 Watt amp or a new...
