Somewhat bizarre question that isn't totally right for this forum, but I'm asking anyway since folk here usually steer me right. :)
Oddly enough, I was just accosted by one of my co-workers because she is thinking of getting her boyfriend/partner/whatever a bass for Christmas. He's already got several guitars (mostly Fenders, she thought) and does have a bass to muck around on, but its neck is a bit warped or something ....
Anyway, she had been hoping to find something decent for not more than 100 quid or so, but I expressed doubts about how easy it would be to find something reasonable in that range. And though I've scoped a number of suggestions for low budget but good value guitars recently, I've kind of ignored bass options and haven't really got a good sense of what the best deals might be. But I promised I'd check around, and here I am. :)
So, any suggestions on budget-but-decent bass guitars? This would be for a guy who isn't looking to be a bass player, but would like a reasonable bass to knock around with at home. Thoughts?
