Bass guitar

I like how the guitar teacher put some sense into me.

Basically, my plan was to get the amp and bass guitar second hand from my friend N. The original price of the LANEY Hardcore Max 15W amp and the TMG bass guitar was $499.N was selling it for $350. And they are both rather new since she has not played much with them. I went to soft.com.sg and found out that another person is selling the exact bass guitar for $140. The cost of the amp is at least $250. I was thinking of getting the set thinking there could be a possibility of upgrading the bass guitar in the near future (sell it and buy another one)

Guitar teacher told me that my current amp (1/3 of the LANEY) is enough for me. I just have to make sure that I don't blast the amp with the bass. He said also that if my purpose is just to practise (as opposed to performing outdoors, needing a more powerful amp), I do not have to get the LANEY amp. He also said that no one would buy the TGM bass guitar. THe pick ups are not so good.

So.. instead of spending $350 for a not so good bass guitar and an unnecessary amp. I can use that money plus a bit more to get a very decent bass guitar.

My guitar teacher is wise. :) And I am still learning a lot from him!
