Any silly cheap bass guitars around?

Antique_Guitars

I need something to keep down tuned to B so I'm going to have to adjust the nut for evil strings and I don't want to spend too much money. Just need to use it for some recordings. Got anything?

Cheers

I've got an extended range BTB I would be willing to sell. 

Depends how much you want to spend though?

I recently bought a Harley Benton Jazz Bass from Thomann for just over £100. Post Brexit the price has gone up slightly but still a good buy. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_75_sb_vintage_serie.htm

They look interesting but I suspect a lot more than my budget. I'm looking at 150 max and that's only for something that really interests me.

Thanks for the message and info, not really my thing as such but I will bare it in mind.

Hi Paul, pm me if you want, I know the JD stuff and not too impressed but if it is silly money I could be tempted

This Toby tobias 4 string would be a pretty good buy for £82 from cash gen (looks like it needs a clean but everything i ever bought from them did)

Got a black OLP stingray I'm looking to get rid of. Only bought it a few months ago but never play it so just want back what I paid for it which was £100.

Interesting, does it have a maple fingerboard?

£120 Squire Jazz on Basschat (not mine) http://basschat.co.uk/topic/287633-squier-jazz/

If you want something at a silly price with a bit of history...I have an Ibanez Roadster RS800, 1979 japanese made bass. Highly respected model. It has one upgraded pick up and been refinished, but looks and sounds the business. Yours for £140 mate (including new set of unopened ernie ball strings) and I'm in north london this week.

PM if interested

Silly cheap but rough as - £50 collected but it's not what you'd call a 'looker'. There's some pics on this thread: http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/71072/wtb-cheap-cheerful-bass
