Hey, James here!


Picking your first bass guitar can be super exciting but also kind of confusing. There are so many different kinds—big ones, small ones, cool brands, and each makes different sounds. It's like being in a candy store for music, but instead of candy, it's guitars. And then there are these choices, like how many strings you want or if you want it to sound classic or modern. It's like trying to find your way through a maze of music stuff. Do you want a deep sound or something more bouncy? It's not just buying a guitar; it's like joining a club of low-pitched music, and each guitar is promising you a different kind of fun. Even though it's kind of confusing, it's also really cool because you're about to find the one that feels just right for you.


And it doesn't stop at choosing your very first bass guitar, because guess what? You have to get other equipment that are essential to your bass guitar journey!


That's why in this lesson I've put together the 7 core equipment every beginner bass guitar player needs to get right to get you on the right track! 🙂

Check out the bass guitar pack that I used in the video. You can get it for yourself here: EastCoast PJ4 Sunburst Bass Guitar Starter Pack


I'll see you next week!
