i want one fender P.Bass... even if it is old or second hand, because here in our country, fender original guitars are expensive for us to avail.. only those people way above poverty line can avail it... unlike me who is hoping to have one day... and if i have one, it will be my best wish to come true..

i not sure what do you want from this forum but i think you want a pbass and you are looking for a cheaper option
well you could try squier VM series, they are awesome for the price, or maybe you want fo even more cheap then affinty series, but they arent really great unlike VM or standard series

Can't you find a cheap P-bass copy that was made over your ways? Look on the used market or on E-bay.

Are you looking for a free bass to be sent to you? I don't know what kind of jobs you have in the Philipines, but if you're poor, as one of the post you replied said, maybe a bass guitar is not what you need to worry about getting.

Don't forget, Amps are pretty expensive too.
Hard to play a Bass without one....

Good luck in your quest.

I am not aware of your laws regarding underage employment over the Philippines, but there has got to be some way for you to make some money. Mow some yards, babysit, help the elderly, get a paper route, knock off a liquor store. Can your parents or relatives help in any way? You have a computer and interwebs access so you can't be that poor. Maybe tell them that for your birthday and christmas combined all you want is a bass, even if it is a P-bass copy. It's still better than nothing. What kind of music do you like?

Also play them the songs "Shooting Star" by Bad Company and especially "Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner.

Back on point then, if you're family is poor, how are you on the computer? The Philipines in rural area I doubt so many people would have access to the internet, so maybe you're not that poor? If you can't get a job until you're 18, be it, somethings are worth dreaming off, and when you get it you'll appreciate it even more.

Why don't you save up the money towards your bass then instead of renting 1hr of time on the computer.
