Hey everybody I want to buy a new guitar next christmas, but I'm not 100% shure with my choices. My budget is up to 500€, which is like 600 Dollar, i think...

I've been searching a long time now, and i want a guitar with two humbuckers and maybe something like coils split. Chapman guitars have these features, but i dont read a lot about the new standard range. Has anyone experience with them? Or do you know a even better fit for me?

P.S.: i like rock-metal

I went myself to a store and tried out between the Fender Rumle 200 and the Markbass 250, both as heads and i liked the sounds of the markbass a bit more. But I qould also look into the specs, because if you find the TC 250 head good enough for you or you like the new Trace elliot, there all in the same price range, and the ashdown 300 (I think) is like the oldschool one. And Honestly: Thats enough for the most Gigs, the DI will get you enough bass anyway, and for stage or bandpractise - volume it's surely enough

Mine only costs 300 euro new, but if you find a used one they're even more affordable

I myself own a markbass 250 little mark and I'm blown away how versatile and strong it is. It can keep up with an fender rumble 500 in an live situation. Also i have a Ashdown Cab, 2x10, wich is jus big enough for me and the PA gets the DI sound anyway
