OllieVT Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Technically, it's NBAAMA (New Bass About A Month Ago), but it's my first ever bass, and my first jump into music making, so I'm still excited. I don't have the experience to make any sensible comparisons, but I'm very happy with it. I tried a few in the store and this one seemed best to me, at least partly because I liked the shape and colour. They set me up with a Fender Rumble 15 amp too, which also seems to do everything I want so far. In the short term, the plan is to play along with my 12yo as she learns the drums. When she forms a band with younger, cooler people, I'll re-evaluate. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno1981 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Such a great setup for someone to learn on. I bet this beats the first bass/amp of 99% of folks on here. It certainly beats mine! I was only permitted a battery powered marshall mini stack thing to plonk away through when I was 12. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Yamaha basses are generally acknowledged as great vfm basses. Always well made and excellent build quality. I've got 4, each of them plays well above their price point. Good buy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 If you enter world of basses, Yamaha and Ibanez really are quite full proof options. A pretty neutral style that will allow you to eventually work out what does and doesn't work for you - and buy more basses! Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
