Lowest Priced New Basses Ever??

[TNCreature]

I fix up and give away a few instruments at Christmas time every year. I bought one to see if it can be playable enough for an entry bass for a kid. We'll see.

What if picture is not 1:1 scale, and you are getting a miniature lol

I actually thought the same thing.

...when a deal seems too good to be true...

I know only BC Rich bass guitars, never knew about BC. Maybe "Budget-Corona"

I was on the lookout for a white Glarry P bass anyway, just bought one for £13.97. Insane. Well, we'll see what turns up...

I bought a sunburst one. I saw in the description of the blue one that the body is 'wood and synthetic'. Reminded me of a bashed blue SX bass they had for sale on the Rondo site recently. The area under the bash looked like it was made of that spray foam insulation stuff. Not sure if that's the case, but something to think about.

I ordered one of these $15 Basses because why not? Previously I had bought one of the eBay Basses for $60. I bought it to practice wrenching on. I was/am shocked at how well it plays and sound right out of the box. I’ve owned Squiers that weren’t as playable. So yeah I took a chance on the $15 one.

Official Exquisite/Glarry/Burning Fire Bass Club?

The bodies are real wood (probably Paulownia), the fretboards are some kind of weird synthetic rosewood looking approximation.

Wife just ordered 3 of the 17$ ones. And a 65$ jazz. See what they look and play like when they come in. Jazz will be here earlier than the other 3

Praise the Lord and you will hear a good Fender elite jazz bass sound.

These will end up in the American garbage stream further exasperating the problem.

Just don't forget to make another thread complaining about low salaries, closing factories, no jobs, big companies asfixiating the little commerce. You know, insignificant stuff.

Modern slavery? Anyone?

... not to mention all the packaging.

And what do you think happens to all the crappy squier instruments that make their way over here? At the very least it's something to hand my kid when he says he wants to give bass a go....

"Gosh, you used to have companies here in America that kept product on hand, would directly ship you what you ordered, and had good customer service. I wonder why they all went away? And why is there so much pollution in the Far East, anyway?"

It's the world that we voted for, one dollar at a time.
