Help me choose my first bass

Your English is almost perfect my friend, better than many native English speakers I know, so don't worry!

In my experience, Yamaha make excellent equipment and I'd always recommend them. It's a shame they don't make a "beginner" model with JJ pickups or I'd have one myself...but the PJ layout is a decent starting point for anyone. I recently was given (!) a Harley Benton PB50 and I have to say it's a lot better than you would imagine, especially for the price. I could easily gig that bass as it is, and upgrades would be easy if I felt the need.

You do know this is from 2016, right?

Just shows how lost I am with this lockdown that I can't even distinguish what day it is, never mind which threads are current.... :D
Don't feel bad. If I've noticed anything over the past week-and-a-half since I've been to work, it's the preponderance of past palaver being promulgated for the pleasure of the people. (…not to mention atrocious alliteration on my part! :whistle:) In other words, we've been getting a lot of this recently…
