Bass Guitar

Hey everyone im looking at buying a bass guitar around Christmas to mess around with and i was wondering if any of you any brands that are good and models for around 300$. Thanks

Yamaha SGs

Alright here i am posting this because something very interesting has appeared while i was watching a youtube video, a lot of people left comments saying that the Yamaha Sgs are better than the Gibson Sgs. The reasoning behind is the 100+ years that yamaha has been making guitars has given them the proper experience and insight to produce some wonderful guitars. Now i am not questioning the fact that they make some sweet guitars what im interested in is if they are really better than the Gibsons. I have heard that yamaha has actually brought Carlos Sanatana some of their prototype SG series guitars to test out and he wanted a guitar with a lot of sustain, so he believed that extra weight would do the trick, and it did, these guitars has incredible sustain but that is why they are so damn heavey. And they have a wonderful creamy tone but are they really able to out perform a real Gibson SG. I want you guys to tell me what you know especially if you own, im looking itno buying one as a distant future guitar

My Next Guitar

Ok, yesterday i visited a local Long and Mcquade music dealership to have a look at some les paul models and I think i have found my next guitar. It is a Gibson Les Paul Studio, Cherry Colour and Finish going for $1099.99. I will include a picture as well. I believe this is a great guitar to buy because Gibsons do not go down in value, they retain they're market value and if I ever want a more high end guitar I know that if i want to sell this one i wont lose much. So i'm looking forward to owning this guitar before my birthday, August 12 btw and making some covers for youtube account with it. If any of you own one and would like to share your experiences with it feel free to comment thnx.
