Crate BT100 Bass Guitar Amplifiers
2005-02-28 Rob
A great amp for anyone wanting a reliable, gigging bass amp. The features on the amp mean i don't need to cart about a million pedals. Very good value for money, pick it up if you see it on offer.

Laney HCM120r Guitar Amplifiers
2005-02-28 Rob, Derby
A good budget amp for someone who needs a strong reliable amp for gigging. Very good metal amp, though it will never beat a marshall or their ilk. Just don't buy if you're looking for a technically good amp.

An awesome kit!!! I recommend this kit to any level drummer, not to be mistaken as a crappy junior or starter kit. It's very versatile, you can make this kit sound like two different sets with the turn of a drum key! There is no other drumset in th

This bass is good for anyone, begginer to pro. It is light and easy on the sholders for long playing times and has a clear tone. And with both types of pickups you can have a wide range of sounds and tones.

2005-02-25 Ken
Do note that do to this unit's great flexibility, you need to know what you are doing, or hire someone who does. Great flexibility means more complicated. Still, most everything is intuitive to someone who knows mixers. The one thing missing that

You can't even get a decent crunch out of the pedal, all you can get is rumble and sound like a little 14 year old kid who just picked up guitar because "it's cool". BOTTOM LINE: IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE MANY KIDS WHO PICK UP GUITAR TO BE COOL, GIVE IT

Fender Highway 1 Jazz Bass Bass Guitars

In my opinion a good compromise between the Mexican Fenders and more expensive made in USA models. Great looks (satin finish), lighter weight than the MIM and noiseless pickups make this the ideal bass for me. Definitely worth every penny and a bas

2005-02-21 David Kersh
It is an incredibly bass for beginning, the fact it is so basic makes it one hell of a guitar to use for practically anything, for metal and rock music, it is fantastic and I have done several gigs using it, it can also achieve a nice slap tone on it

In the semi hollow guitar market, gibson have enjoyed the lion's share of the market with the tried and tested ES 335. If you have got to have a gibbo' then nothing else will do. But it's a hefty price to pay for "That Name", and a guitar your fright

The HR-2 is Boss's 1st and best harmonizer, you can add in 2 voices. The PS-3 and PS-5 only adds one voice. The digitech whammys are all basic pitch shifters. The difference between basic and intelligent pitch/harmonists is this. Basic: simpler pitch

Bottom Line, I would not be surprised if this line of basses rockets up to the lofty heights of Specter, Warwick, and Smith. I fully expect that in 5 years I would be able to get more for this bass than I originally paid for it. I've gigged out wit

Bottom line, this amp rocks the house everytime, and I'm able to fill many venues with thick clear bass sound without any PA assistance. The D.I. out on the back of the head gives the option to hook to the board, but there really isn't any need.. ev

2005-02-02 JW
Bottom line: For a beginner on a budget and truly desperate for a bass, then perhaps a Squire would be acceptable for teething. I do beleive a Mexican-made Fender would suit the beginner far better. But don't "fret". Better days and basses await you!
