Epiphone EB-3 Bass could seem a bit expensive for beginers, but it is a real bargain for a bass on this quality, and it can be used by an entry level player for many years. Some cheaper beginner basses may not be able to be used for anything rather than just practicing because they are either too hard to play, don't stay in tune, or just really not sound very good. That is not with the Epiphone EB3 Bass. You can actually use this bass for semi-pro purposes. However the EB-3 will not responsively for all types of music, a sound that won't be suitable to more modern or funk. This is not a bass that will be suit for slapping or for a percussive type of playing. It is best suited for producing a deep, low end, room filling bottom, and not really appropriate for a funky percussive slap tone.
I've been interested in an SX while I just bought my first bass, It's sad also impossible to ship to the country plus tax. So, after reading all the positive comments about them. I search for Youtube for covers and reviews to tell you here. SX Ursa P Review If you like the look of the Fender Precision Bass, then you'd be very
happy with an SX bass guitar for sure. The price $70 less than the
Squier, the SX Bass truly is a fantastic instrument for the price. Its a
great little project bass. The beginners and who looking to get into
something new would definitely be happy with SX Bass. Must watch if interest, Reviewed by Rumblin Man

SX Ursa 2 (RN/MN) Ash:
It is comparable to Squier Affinity J, for half the price, ash bodies, better hardware and better pickups (IMHO). Right now(11/23/2013), the natural with blocked rosewood fretboard is $125 on sale!
SX Ursa 2 Hum: The SX bass, J style with a MM style passive humbucking bridge pickup, it has a wider tonal pallet when compared to the standard jazz pickup arrangement. This is an extremely versatile bass. And it's very inexpensive. It would be about half the cost of the 'Deluxe.' And maybe a quarter of the the cost of the MUSICMAN Stingray! Good luck deciding.
SX Andromeda: The body alone is worth the price
SX Ursa 3 P/J:
Precision and Jazz style pickups, 2 vol 1 tone knobs, bottom-mount jack, alder body, maple neck with gloss finish, rosewood fretboard, 34" scale, "vintage" style bridge and tuners. Weight is about 8 lbs.
Douglas NB-C2: Trans Black finish on sale for 135
Shipping cost: I test by add bass to cart, the shipping cost between 17-31 dollars. Don't forget to buy bass amplifier, you may search in craiglist or buy a new one.
