Buying Guide for Bass Guitars

In the past, most bass players were made by default. He was either the guy who wanted to be in the band who didn’t have any equipment yet, or the 2nd or 3rd guitar player in the band who’s ability on the guitar was somewhat… questionable.
Through the years the role of the bass guitar has grown and developed as creative musicians such as James Jamerson, Paul McCartney & Jaco Pastorius, have stretched the boundaries of the instrument and brought it to the forefront.

Back in the early 60’s the quality of starter basses was often less than desirable.

The high tension of the heavy strings often warped necks rendering them unplayable. Today’s instruments are of a different caliber. Technological developments and the use of modern manufacturing techniques have greatly improved the quality and consistency of entry-level instruments.

Bass Lessons Online said...

I can relate to several of the issues addressed in this article:

1. I started on bass because there were too many guitarists in the band; I was an OK guitar player, however.

2. I didn't even have to buy a bass for the first few years because there was always a "discarded" one available somewhere.

3. I recently purchased an excellent bass guitar for relatively little money.

4. Technology and desire has led me to provide a systematic, step-by-step course of bass lessons online, with some FREE trial beginner bass lessons.
