therealting Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I’m trying to get more bass uptake both at the school where I teach and the church where I worship. One obvious initial obstacle is getting a little setup which bass beginners / guitar-playing dabblers can afford while they figure out if they want to get serious. So recommend me a little setup! I think we’ll need a bass, a small amp, and a cable. If they can be ordered in one go from a retailer (or purchased locally) then all the better. Links and prices appreciated!

BassApprentice Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Can't really go wrong with Harley Benton bass wise. Solid and will sound decent. Out of those suggestions I would go for the package with the Fender Rumble as all the Rumbles I've tried have sounded very good. To be fair, I've no idea how good that wee 15 watt Harley Benton is but those generic looking practice never instil confidence for producing low end.

hooky_lowdown Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Whichever set you buy, you need to get some decent strings, as it's for beginners I'd recommend nickel roundwounds, as they are smoother and not as rough as steel roundwounds, so easier on soft fingers. I'd recommend Warwick red label nickel roundwound strings, they're cheap (under a tenner) and sound pretty decent. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
