Beginner Bass Guitars

A starter bass guitar is specifically designed for those who are new to playing the instrument. These guitars are crafted to provide excellent playability, comfort, and affordability. They serve as a stepping stone for aspiring bassists, allowing them to grasp the fundamental techniques and build a solid foundation, without heavy investment in professional level equipment.

When venturing into the realm of beginner bass guitars, one popular option to consider is a bass guitar starter pack. This comprehensive package typically includes not only the bass guitar itself but also essential accessories such as an amplifier, cables, a strap, and even instructional materials. It's an all-in-one solution for beginners, saving you the hassle of purchasing each component separately and ensuring that you have everything you need to get started.

Learner bass guitars for beginners

Electric bass guitars for beginners are an excellent choice due to their versatility and ease of use. Unlike acoustic bass guitars, electric basses offer the advantage of being able to amplify the sound, making them suitable for various musical styles and playing environments. They also typically have thinner necks, which can be more comfortable for beginners with smaller hands.

When choosing a suitable learner bass guitar, it's important to consider several factors. First and foremost, comfort is key. Look for a bass that’s comfortable to hold and play, with a weight and physical size that suits your needs. The neck should have a comfortable shape and thickness, allowing you to navigate the fretboard without difficulty. The styles we offer are classic designs, with tried and tested body shapes to ensure a good experience.

Another important aspect to consider is the sound. While a beginner bass guitar may not possess the same tonal qualities as a professional-grade instrument, it should still produce a clear, balanced sound. Our P-style bass guitars feature a classic staggered pickup set that provides a well rounded low end and great detail. The basswood body and maple neck give a clean and articulate punch to notes, with simple volume and tone controls making for easy adjustments.

This hugely popular P-style bass guitar design has been a mainstay of recordings and live band performance since the 1960s, and is famous for its potent growl that is suitable for any genre of music, and is a favourite of players of all skill levels due to its slender neck and lightweight body allowing for hours of practice and play with minimal fatigue.

Affordable bass guitar starter packs

Affordability is often a significant consideration for beginners, and luckily, there are many budget-friendly options available. Don't be fooled into thinking that a higher price tag automatically equates to better quality. Our learner bass guitars deliver great playability and offer exceptional value for money, with our fantastic bass guitar starter pack sets makin gan great gift as they include everything you need to get started.

When you're just starting out playing, it's essential to have a supportive learning environment. Consider joining a bass guitar class or finding a mentor or teacher who can guide you through the initial stages. They can offer valuable insights into technique, theory, and practice routines, helping you progress faster and avoid common pitfalls.

These bass guitar starter packs include a superb little 40W practice amplifier, with tone controls for bass, midrange and treble to adjust the sound to suit your taste and playing style. Ideal for beginners and bedrooms, the amp includes a headphone connection for silent playing, which is one of the huge benefits to learning an amplified instrument.

Beginners bass guitar packages

These learner bass guitar packages also come with a handy gig bag for protecting and carrying your instrument, along with a shoulder strap, a digital tuner unit, and a set of replacement strings. The bass guitars come with a set of allen wrenches that allow you to adjust the string height and neck curve for the best playability and comfort.

In conclusion, a beginner bass guitar is the perfect tool to embark on your musical journey. With their tailored design, affordability, and user-friendly features, these guitars provide an ideal starting point for aspiring bassists. Whether you opt for a bass guitar starter pack or choose an electric bass guitar for beginners, remember to prioritize comfort, sound quality, and affordability when making your selection. So, grab your bass, plug in, and get ready to groove!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a bass guitar good for beginners?

An electric bass guitar is a fun and exciting instrument for the student or beginner. By the nature of its use, the bass guitar allows for recognisable basslines and riffs to be played in a very short time after first starting, which helps greatly to encourage practice and commitment.

With the availability of our high quality bass guitars and starter bass guitar packages offering incredible value, its now more affordable than ever to buy your first musical instrument and begin your journey.

Can I learn bass guitar myself?

Many of the most famous bass guitar players are self taught, having learned by ear, playing along to their favourite songs until it sounds right. Regardless of lessons or not, the key to any instrument is playing. You need to give it the hours to see results, so ideally your learning will be a mix of self tuition and pointers from established players.

As a beginner, it is always advisable to atleast have a few lessons from a professional instructor, as they can teach you the correct way to hold the instrument, and the technique for playing notes and chords in the best way. This will ensure you dont teach yourself bad habits from the start that will be hard to shake off later.

Is bass harder to play than guitar?

You will get different answers to this question depending if you ask a bass player or guitar player, but the truth is they are quite different instruments, requiring their own technique and playing styles.

Obviously due to the nature of some popular songs basslines being singular notes, the bass guitar can be considerably easier to get results from when starting out, which can be very encouraging to beginners, but the bass is as challenging to learn as any other instrument if you wish to progress to more professional levels.

Which bass guitar is good to start?

As with any beginner, you have the dilemma of investment versus the possibility of not wanting to continue to learn after that initial period. Thankfully, the range of low cost starter bass guitar packages available allows you to get hold of a great quality instrument and a practice amplifier without breaking the bank.

For new players, a classic 4 string electric bass with simple passive pickup system and easy to use controls is the best choice, allowing you to play any style or genre of music, while being comfortable to hold and play.
