Chris2202 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Right.. Ive been playing for a few months now and have learnt a few basslines/riffs and done a few covers with my band, but so far ive just been borrowing a mates bass but the time has come to decide on what i should get, and im pretty stuck...Electro Acoustic or Hard Bodied? My 'favoured' genre is soft rock (Free, The Stranglers etc ) but i also like to cover Nirvana etc so i really dunno..can you help me decide please Cheers..

shinhoman Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 buying a bass is like buying a pair of shoes. sure you can see which ones you like the look of... but the best way is to see which fits you the best. i could give you some examples.... but it would be much better if you went and decided for yourself. only you know what you like.

Doddy Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'd go for a solid body personally. Which ever you go for you'll need to amplify it as soon as you play with someone else anyway. You've got a lot more choice with electric basses too. Electro Acoustics are cool and everything (I own one myself),but they are more of a niche instrument than a solidbody.

Dom in Dorset Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 acoustics are great to leave around the place to pick up now and then to get a bit of extra practice, just pick it up and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
