So, I’ve been playing guitar for a while now, and am thinking of possibly doing some bass on the side. I know we have a lot of bass players on the forum so I thought it might be a good place to ask. I’m looking for something $200-. I know that limits the options quite a bit but I don’t need something amazing. Any suggestions would be great.

I know you can get the Dean EAB for less than $200, and it comes with a pick-up in it. They sound…OK. Since you’re a guitar player, you know what to expect in that price range.

This is what I have, they’re ok, I’m not a really serious player or anything, though.

I’ve played that and for its price range its got a nice sound. If your getting it just to mess around, then ether the Dean or Ibanez are great for the “not to serious” player
