No money no bass...

Some dude on the internet says he's totally broke and immediately a bunch of people start fighting over that. Ah what a wonderfulf world!

Work!

Air basses only work for light rock though...

I've been doing some looking for a while and a person ought, with some work and planning, be able to get a giggable rig for a hundred bucks. And yeah I'm including an amp. It won't be great but it can be done. It's amazing what people will toss out as well. Good luck OP.

He has been lurking around liking posts, but that's all. Can't say I blame him.

Gut feeling is this is someone's troll account.

Not to discourage the OP, there are much cheaper basses out there. I think the real issue here is the OP not giving us a budget. I mean, I bought a $75 Stedman Pro Telecaster copy new off eBay. (I know, it's not a bass. I know. )

With new strings (Fender 3250R Bullets) it sweetened up immensely. There are similar priced basses under the ISIN and Ammoon headstock stickers.

Reverb offers Affirm or some other financing as an option too, somewhere between $15 and $LOTS per month depending on the gear you buy, if the seller opts in for it. They kinda have to, since a lot of the prices on Reverb are almost the same as new gear...

I just went on my local craigslist and typed in bass in the musical instrument section.

I found basses for as little as $80, a Hohner and a Rouge. For $100 there are a bunch of options from Dean, Ibanez, Samick and Washburn, including an Ibanez SR400 which is a killer deal in my opinion.

I did the paper route thing to get my first instruments. It might take a bit to save if you are young, but I've found that items that I've worked hard for I tend to appreciate more.

I


Same here. Just got a pedal in that looks to be quite promising - for a change.

I think I might have found an overdrive I actually like.

What pedal? I am pretty happy with the tc electronic MOJOMOJO.

How was it you weren't able to bring your bass with you when you moved?

I can't comment on the dystopian filter other than to say it makes it difficult to have a pragmatic or credible conversation.

Not difficult, impossible.

 

[ubernator]

I'm not at all surprised.

Nor am I, at that response.

I got this sweet instrument for near nothing

 

[ubernator]

$40 including case and strung with elixirs (not advertised as such). Sometimes you get lucky. Seller's hardwood floors, not mine.

Yeah it's worth more than your camera, no doubt.

Easy lad. It was meant in jest.

You're trying a little too hard to show everybody how above it all you are right now.

That's another quality shot taken with my tired Blu Windows Phone, it's what I had at the time

OMG in new york you can't buy peanuts for $40 bucks dude. Great score!

VHT V-Drive.

There's a thread running on it over in Effects. Inexpensive and atypical OD-type pedal.

No money no walkie, no girly no talkie.

So we both read into our intentions wrong. That is not what I am trying to do. You didn't sound like jest earlier, let's move on.
