my first bass was a hondo. sounded like mud was on the strings and played like my hands were numb.

Is it better to learn on an accoustic or electric?
You are more likely to notice--and ideally, try to correct--bad playing habits if you play without distortion, but really, you should just go with whichever style of guitar you enjoy hearing/playing the most.
My electric broke (snapped the neck, wow) and I'm currently looking for a cheap replacement as well.
Buy a shit guitar (Kmart sells acoustics for $50)
Don't get a good one since there is a 99% chance that you won't stick with it for more than a few months.
Make this thread again in 6 months after you're sick of your Kmart special. Until then, you're just another buster trying to impress bitches.
Truth hurts.
Who isn't trying to impress bitches?
This is the right idea, but for an extra $100-$150 he can get something that won't play/sound like shit and won't behave (break) like a cheap toy, which will likely make him a lot more motivated to keep playing.Quote:
