Thanks Wow, hope it wasn't a tease I put out there. It was from Musicians Friend and it was about a 15 watt amp. The entire kit was less than $300 USD. The bass I've used it for guess that bass riff and on some of my original noodling. For about $150 it is a nice starter bass guitar. The amp I use when I play small gigs (like church) and it works great for guitar or bass. ( I currently only use it out of house with guitar as I'm no where near ready to start playing songs with my bass yet.)]]> Opinions and Polls Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass-3/#post-212500 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass-3/#post-212481 Mon, 04 Dec 2006 21:16:41 +0000 Froogle (UK) will give you a good idea of what's available over here and for what price...]]> Opinions and Polls Misanthrope https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass-3/#post-212481 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass-3/#post-212463 Mon, 04 Dec 2006 20:17:00 +0000

For not knowing anything before hand, I still don't know a lot but know more than I did before I watched the vid. (did you follow that?)

For a starter, starter kits can be a value and advantage.]]> Opinions and Polls Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass-3/#post-212458 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass-3/#post-212449 Mon, 04 Dec 2006 19:30:06 +0000 Opinions and Polls Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass-3/#post-212449 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass-3/#post-22306 Mon, 04 Dec 2006 19:16:17 +0000
I would like to have a go at playing bass, but have never handled one and know nothing about playing them. Can anyone advise if there is a decent but inexpensive one that would be ok.

I have looked on the Epiphone website but there is nothing I like the look of, there is a squire (copy of the precision bass) for about £199, and a Mexican Fender Precision bass for £499. I also saw the Burns Marque bass at about £379, this looked the nicest. I don't know anything about other less well known makes and although I don't really fancy the make, there was a nice looking Yamaha in pearlescent red for about £300.

If anyone can offer any advice about the above, or any others I would be gratefull, I have tended to go for sound and looks with my 6 strings. Also, as I play by ear, how would I play bass, would I have to use tabs (I can't read music).

Thanks
