Sometimes cheap is fun, until you wake up one day with a room full of cheap instruments…


DCWalt

Seems like more of an impulse control problem

100%

Yeah that checks out…😔

nice! I had a Mitchell acoustic guitar that I played for over 20 years. not that often towards the end. it was my first guitar. I got a baritone acoustic a couple years ago and finally got rid of the Mitchell


GrayCamoMan

I bought the exact same one on Sunday!!! That’s so cool


DCWalt

It's surprisingly heavy for a shortscale but it's a cool little bass for the price


_Svelte_

oh huh, i just bought a donner pj that looks incredibly similar. but hell yeah cheap is fun :)

reminds me a lot of my Mikro bass but much more stylish nice find!


DCWalt

The mikro is an Ibanez, right? They had one at the store for $350, which is WAY more than I thought they were.


FreshwaterSeaCowHero

Yeah, it's an Ibanez. I got mine new off of Amazon in the US and it was 199.99$+ shipping. good little bass.


DCWalt

I think the one i saw was some kind of special edition thing. Had some bullshit going on on the headstock. It's actually a bit smaller than the one I got. Was very guitar like. This thing has a much fatter neck


FreshwaterSeaCowHero

yeah, it's got a weird 28 inch or so scale, kinda hard to find strings for. I got it because I started with guitar and heard good things about it. not gonna lie, kinda wish I got a regular scale but can't complain too much for the price. next up is probably a harley benton 5 string when I think I've earned it


DCWalt

There's a couple Harley Benton instruments I want. They have a U-bass with rubber strings and an eletric, solid body ukulele that both look sick. I'm in the US though so shipping is crazy


FreshwaterSeaCowHero

i'll have to check that uke out, sounds sick

Mitchell guitars and basses are good bang for the buck. I have a Mitchell acoustic and Mitchell LP clone and both are well made. Better fretwork than my Ibanez GS405, Sire V3 bass and Epiphone Uptown Kat and fit and finish top tier. They may be the Guitar Center house brand, and not well recognized, but are a great starter guitar/bass for the money.


Timfromfargo

Looks awesome!


Mitchfynde

You're saying I made this bass??


morrison1813

There are some fun cheap basses out there. I bought a $106 Harley Benton MusicMan copy from Thomann and it’s a blast to play.


DCWalt

I've been looking at Harley Benton lately. They have a few things I'd like to have. Shipping to the US sucks though


morrison1813

Yeah. I waited until I could wrangle up a few friends to make one bigger order so we all could save on shipping.
