When exploring your options, it’s helpful to make a list of your favorite bassists and think about what styles of music you want to learn to play. This will help the salesperson offer suggestions on particular models that will give you the sound you’re looking for. When looking for your first bass, there are many things to consider. You want a solid, well-built bass guitar that will inspire you to play. Here are a few things to look for:

• The scale, or string length, will determine the size of the bass. Basses come in long scale and short scale. It is important to match the size of the bass to the size of the bassist
• The action refers to how high the strings are in relation to the fretboard of the neck. High action makes playing more difficult. If the action is too low, the strings will make an unpleasant buzzing sound
• The electronics. For electric basses, make sure that you test the bass with an amplifier and that the volume and tone controls work to adjust the sound. Listen for any crackling sounds, as that may indicate some faulty electronics or loose internal wiring
• The frets level. Check to see whether the frets are level and that the notes sound good all the way up and down the neck on each string. Uneven frets can cause bad notes on different parts of the neck. Run your hand up and down the neck – the frets should feel even and smooth
• The neck width. As you look at basses, check the width of the guitar neck. Some bass guitars have wider necks than others, and a younger player could benefit from having a narrower neck that is slightly less difficult to navigate
