I been struggling on the ultimate question: buy a bass or electric guitar? (I can only buy one)

I feel like you can still achieve rhythm and groove on an electric, and do shredding and solos more, rather than vice versa (solos and shredding just doesn't go that hard on bass as on guitar) Focusing on playing rhythm guitar and specific genres focused on groove, like groove metal will probs satisfy you. I am however a guitarist so maybe I'm a little biased. I'm sure others will drop their opinion too

How much are you looking to spend?

#

had to fix the middle pickup on the 012 but was still half price cheaper than getting it brand new

still meteor
#

the 112v is literally brand new

#

its as if they took it out the box and left it to gather dust

#

The one at my local music store is 200 and I’m willing to buy that

#

the 012 was my first guitar but I paid £70 for it

#

and then another £25 to fix the middle pickup

#

love the dude at my local store he changed it for free

#

and also polished the fretboard
