Need A Bass Advice


Recommended Posts

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.
