Electric Bass Guitars Buying Guide

A musical instrument is an asset anywhere and at any time. The electric bass guitar has become very popular of late and has replaced the double bass. Whatever be the style of music, whether it is pop, metal, rock, country, jazz, punk rock, reggae, ska or blues, one can use the bass guitar. An electric bass guitar serves perfect as a solo instrument too.  

Factors to Consider

The sound quality of an electric bass guitar depends on the construction, length of scale, neck of the guitar, finger board and other minute details in their finish.   

• Body style: The most commonly used ones are solid-body electrics. For an acoustic sound, semi-hollow body will be ideal.

• Scale length: scale length affects the tonal quality of notes. For those with small hands, a short scale bass will be ideal. The best scale length however depends on the tone you desire and the instrument you are planning to purchase.

• Neck: This depends on your hand-size. You can choose between flat back, oval, asymmetrical, round and “vee”. Four string basses will definitely have smaller necks than 5 string basses.

• Fingerboard: For a whining, trebly sound which sustains longer, a bass with a coated fingerboard will be the best. Uncoated fingerboards will produce a warm and natural sound.
