Need help with a Samick bass

[Ryan12]

Hey I am new to bass's but have been wanting one for a while now. I came across this deal on craigslist for 215 for a samick bass.

I tried to research it to see the original price but found little information on it. I really like the paint job on it. Do yall think it is a decent bass and is it worth getting? and worth the 215? Any help and thoughts appreciated!

I don't know what it is worth, and specific price quotes are for supporting members only, but I can tell you there is no way in hell I would pay that much for it.

Seeing as it is a Samick, it is unlikely that bass sold for more than $300 when it was new, it is far from new.

Ok so do you think its around 150 or 160? is it even a quality bass?

 

[Dos Inus]

No. Instead, get a Squire Vintage Modified bass at Guitar Center, on sale. You'll have a great playing and brand-new bass for about the same amount of $$$.

what about this one for 150?

Skip that one I don't trust that crack I know it's only $150.00 bucks but I agree with Dos Inus about getting a new Squier

Alright Jazz bass or precision bass?

Or a jaguar series like this

Your choice. Try them all plugged in and unplugged. Pick the one with the sound you like, one that feels good in your hands. Get a feel for the different neck profiles. Good luck.
