Actually the SX is a cheap Chinese guitar,lol.Its just got good wood,is all.Rondomusic ships anywhere if you buy a case,and the cases are good quality.I suggest the Agiles he sells there if you dont want to spend a fortune on a great guitar.The AL-2000 Les Paul knockoff is unbeliveable for the cost of $200.00 US.With a case it costs a little over $250.00US.Check out the site at www.rondomusic.com for the best deals out there.And,no,I dont work for them,lol,they just have great stuff for little coin!

Yup I know that those cheap guitar are all chinese. But those which you can get in Poland are so bad that every musician is staying away from them. Everyone say that those aren't even good to practise - only to burn

Still rondomusic ships for 100-120 dollars to Poland + customs(?) - dunno how high they would be.

BTW.Those Agile guitars you wrote about are made in Korea

(if you believe rondomusic)

I know they are made in Korea,just made to the owners(Kurt)specs.The shipping may be brutal,but it is worth it because its such a high quality instrument for the price.Some things are worth alot more than their asking price

Thx a lot. But for 200$ + 120$ shipping + customs (another 60-80 dollars?) I can buy good enough guitar in Poland such like Yamaha/Epiphone/Cort or whatever you wish (well maybe not Fender [ Squire... tfu] or Gibson [ Junior...tfu!] but...) and I would get warranty :P

BTW I'm looking for good and cheap bass. Not electric guitar

I'm thinking about Hartke Gig Pack. It got quite good user reviews on web (mostly around 7/10) + it's made in Korea not in China

And I can get it in Poland for 240$ so it's not so bad at all

Hartke makes GREAT amps(have 2 myself),but the basses arent so good,cheap hardware lets them down.Go for a Squier instead,better quality all around for around the same price.I've played bass longer than any other instrument(25+ years),so I know what Im talking about here.I taught my niece how to play on a Squier,and shes still using it 6+ years later.Good,solid bass

Just avoid the Affinity series like the plague,absolute garbage there.

Huh Squier costs about 420$ here in Poland. ( Affinity series for about 290$...) You know... when I wrote 240$ for Hartke Gig pack I thought you would realize that I don't want to spend 600 dollars for guitar + amp

Still big thx for trying to help. Anything else you could recommend?

BTW Ever heard about Fernandes Atlas 4X? I found it for about 225$ Looks very nice.

Have you played any Mayones guitars? I've always been wanting to grab one but lack of a dealer that carries them close to me is what has me worried.

Ouch! Its no where near that much in the US...Hmmm,I looked up the Fernandez,looks like a good one.A bandmate had one a while ago,just not the same model.Ill ask him if it worked well for him today.Another option,even if it dosent sound too appealing,is to buy used.Some of the best guitars Ive owned have been used.Basses are sturdy beasts,they hold up well and make great used instruments.I suggest a new amp,though,they dont hold up nearly as well.Look into older Ibanezs,they make a good solid bass,used them myself for awhile.Dont know if they are available over there,but Jay Turser is another decent bass for the bucks spent.Another option is from Rondomusic again(dont worry,its cheap and its a full kit)Their bass kit is only $140.00US,with shipping and customs shouldnt be much over $200.00 delivered.Quality bass there,with a good solid amp.Heres the url:
http://www.rondomusic.com/bg2k3ts.html
If worse comes to worse the used route is probably your best bet,dont discount it because of that.Its the best way to get good quality on the cheap

Hope this helps.
P.S. Email Kurt at Rondomusic for a quote on the shipping,they have the best customer service over here,and he will work with you if need be,alot of his sales are overseas,that should tell you something

Oh and warrenties arent all they are cracked up to be on instruments.You are always better off using a local shop to fix your gear,their cheaper and they can be held responsible if something goes wrong,just my 2 cents on that one.
