Whilst bass players are often laughed at by guitarists for “only having four strings”, it should be clear after these few pages that they also have a crucial role in a band. The bass player’s task is to support the groove of the band right from the beginning. This creates the collective feeling of a tune, the togetherness in feel and sound. So what more is there to think about? Go grab an instrument!
Nowadays you can easily get a decent-sounding instrument for little money while in the past it was more the exception for somebody to have a reasonable instrument as a beginner. This is partly due to guides like this one but also to the large variety of quality instruments available at a low price. Please note our special ‘The most popular basses’ where you can find a selection of instruments considered to be the best by our customers.
