im not sure wich brands you guys can get over there, i advise london city guitars, the ibanez guitars above the starter pack, and maybe a yamaha pacifica….one tip, don’t outcheap it, if the guitar is 100 bucks, you’ll know it wont be very good
edit: oh, bass…well, all exept the pacifica then, you could also check out crafter bass’es, pretty good as well
