USA bass under $400

I too was looking for a good, cheap bass a while back. It seems like the best deals on used made-in-the-USA basses are G&L and Hamer.

That Torres kit looks like a Korean Squier handed to you in pieces. Would you really want to spend the extra money and time required to apply the paint and finish on such a cheap guitar? I'd say go for the Carvin kit or look for a used bass.

I think Torres' kits are the same as the Saga kits too. The relative crapness doesn't bug me, mostly because it only takes a few hours to tung oil a body and any problems I'd run across would be relatively easy to fix.

Not that it matters much. I managed to snag a Charvel Model 3B off of eBay. I might pick up one of those Saga kits just to have something to mess with, but I'm set for right now. Thanks for all the info.

Re: Kit guitars

the kits that Torres Engineering sells look like the saga kits you can buy on ebay for like 99.00 . i bought one of the strat kits and after a good set up it plays great.its sound pretty good to ,i mean sounds good for a 79.00 guitar.i changed the pickups after i had it for awhile added a ESP logo to the headstock and people think its a esp,i was offered 450.00 for one day .i just laughed and said no.
