So I bought a Yamaha Acoustic guitar. And I love it. My son wanted a guitar and we ended up getting him a used Ibanez bass. Except now I found I REALLY REALLY like to play bass as apposed to guitar.

So looking for a new bass for under $300.

Found this guy which I really like. However Backordered, and Im impatiant.

Thanks

LOL. No sir, I'm just being unhelpful. You're in the right sub it looks like.

Go used. Ebay or whatever. Buy from a reputable shop. You'll get more for that $300 than a new one.

Used Peavey (suggestions from my gearhead bandmate.) Maybe an old Dean or Washburn from Korea or Japan but good luck finding one under $300.

Save up $500.

Nonsense. A bedroom player shouldn't spend more than 200 bucks on a new bass.

$250 gets you a used $500 bass

New, you could get a Sterling Musicman for $299. They are fun to play and you get close to that classic stingray tone.

Squier short-scale Jaguar bass is fantastic. I've been playing semi-pro for 30 years, and have a ton of guitars...this one is a fave. Bridge pickup hums a bit, but just turn it off.
