Brand new basses for $30?

[B-Mac]

Very good point. $30 is still a decent chunk of change for some people in the world.

Did YOU buy one yet?

This thread makes me recall my past Glarry P-bass copy. It was actually a fairly well-finished and playable instrument for $89 at the time -- and I see that their prices are going up now, so they must be selling well. If a beginner is thinking about trying out a bass for the first time, the real bargain would be a Glarry -- not this $30 piece of finished firewood.

Even though I am curious and wouldn't have high expectations, I haven't bought one. It would almost be worth it just to post my review here though.

I bought a Harley Benton pb 50 for $111.00 + $70 shipping, it'd be free shipping in Europe.I like it a lot.I don't know how you could sell a decent bass cheaper.

That bridge makes me say No.

If you bought that’d you’d be paying for a warped neck, separated body, tuners that are just for looks, strings that would unwind or snap if you could get it up to tune.

I wouldn’t even consider it unless I needed a prop or wanted one to smash onstage…

I’m no gear snob, I think you can get a playable bass at a reasonable price, but not $30.

I wouldn’t even trust that as a boat paddle.

As a boat paddle you could use it to tuna fish.
