                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[For the amp, I got a behringer BX300 on clearance. It's pretty good for practice, it's loud enough maybe for a blues trio or jazz trio that's not too loud. The only bad thing about it is that it hums .. but I got it for like $90, it's not bad.<br><br>(Sorry, don't have an inexpensive bass to recommend. I started looking at those, but ended up liking a MIM Special Precision bass, figured I might as well get a good used bass if I am in that price range, and ended up buying a used Carvin for quite a bit less than the MIM bass ... )]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Don't know that this'll help much, but when I was looking at bass guitars I decided to go with a cheapie - hell, I could always upgrade! So I bought a Freshman bass - think it was round about Â£130 (approx $250) - I don't even know what model it is, it was kind of a whim!<br><br>Couldn't be happier with it though - I also got a Roland Cube 30W bass amp, and I tried the bass through that amp in the shop. I was happy with the overall sound, and I still am. The Roland's a bit pricey though if you're not looking to spend that much. When money's a little less tight and the Mrs can be persuaded, I will up grade to a 5-string bass - I love the idea of that low B string, and playing a root D note on the bottom string.<br><br>One thing you should look at, though, (following Margaret's experience) is whether the long-scale or short-scale would suit you better. Try both before you decide. But a cheapish bass with a decent amp will give you a decent sound - and if you take to it, like I said, you can always upgrade....<br><br> :D  :D  :D<br><br>Vic]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well, I'm looking to get into the bass guitar, so can anyone recommend a good set up for me? I need a bass, an amp, and possibly some cool effects but I've heard that most people don't bother with bass effects. <br><br>I know nothing about the bass, except that it's an octave lower than a guitar(I think) and will screw up my guitar amp easily, so I'm open for price ranges. Something not too expensive though please  :oops: <br><br>P.S: Please no pictures of that nice Mustang bass Margaret has, I can't afford anything that cool and I'm afraid it will give me incurable GAS :lol: <br><br>Thanks and Rock On]]></content:encoded>
