Once you have tried a few and have narrowed it down to what you want buying used makes sense. Why buy new when you can get something at a fraction of the price or a better spec for your money....Musicians are always upgrading and the second hand market is plentiful of stuff at real knock down prices. Ebay is quite good for bargains....I have bought loads of musical gear there and NEVER once been disappointed or cheated. In fact I have bought stuff I would never have been able to afford NEW.
