**Buying the next bass: Resource**

Bassists,

This is the third part of a network of threads aimed at purchases related to bass. Please use this and avoid making unneeded threads unless there is reason. Read through this, there will be something you can use. Try using www.harmony-central.com for reviews. And search...

Chris

[URL=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=321848]Bass Forum Classifieds[/url]

This is a resource for some of you who are interested in buying a new bass. It contains links to threads regarding the issue, as well as useful websites.
If this is in the wrong place (aka Resources), MOD's feel free to move it.

One of the main problems of doing a general thread for this topic, is that each case is extremely individual. This is not intended to stop these threads, however, I urge bassists to scan through the catorgories before posting a new thread.

This is by no means a complete resource, I will be updating once the search function is working

I will begin by posting a link to a website that i have always gone to, in search of user reviews. This is a great resource, with endless reviews on amps, bass, effects...The list continues.
http://www.harmony-central.com

The following are threads of a silimar topic, organised into various catorgories. For example Price. This will be updated

Chris, you should put this up in resources as well once this thread dies. That way it won't get lost.

I'd rep you but for some reason it says that I need to spread some rep around first. I can't remember the last time I repped you, which is weird.

If your looking for a bass that would last you the rest of your life i would definitely have to go with a lakland. Great basses with an awesome sound.

Great guide. Rep+

We should also get those prices in AUD and US dollars, i think i'll work on it tomorrow. You can then add that to your post if you want.
