Need A Bass Advice

[Wade]

Hi, it's my first time here

I'll probably start to play bass this month and I'd like to know wich kit you would recommend me to start with. (electric bass of course)

P.S. I'll mainly play hard rock

Look into the SAGA electric bass kit. It will be around $100-120 + S&H, great for beginners.

If you don't mind spending a little more, check out the Carvin B4 kit.

ok thank you both I may go in some music stores today:)

If you're going into music stores rather than building from a kit, be sure to check Yamaha, Ibanez, and (if they carry it) OLP.

If by "kit" you meant the boxes that come with a bass, amp, etc., I would honestly be very careful. If it's between a bass kit/pack that costs $200 and JUST a bass that costs $200 but is a bit better, get the bass instead. You'll soon outgrow the little practice amp that comes with those kits... and for a wee little amp of that calibre, you can always buy one for $40 next month if you REALLY are in a rush to get something small like that. Better still, try a few basses that are a little bit more expensive than what you thought you wanted to pay, just to see if there's a huge difference. If you luck out and find a $200 bass that you love more than the $350 basses then by all means go for it. But if you try one of the "slightly more expensive than I wanted to pay" basses and it feels just awesome, save your pennies for another few weeks and get the one that will inspire you to play.
