If you are a beginner, the bass is good. It is relatively easy to get started, and you can play in a band quickly. However, the bass cannot be used as an accompaniment instrument alone to accompany songs. Therefore, if you want to learn the bass, When you need to show it to others, it is not as expressive as the guitar
If you don’t plan to form a band, there is no need to learn the bass
The electric guitar is not as expressive as the bass Rich, but the semester is long. When rehearsing some songs, a band may have a bassist who has been playing for three months, but it definitely does not need a guitarist who has been playing for three months
This is for sure
Personally, I think it all depends on your own preferences. There is no conflict between the two. Once you learn the guitar, you will naturally play the bass. The principle is the same. I played the guitar first, and I still play it now. I like the bass so much that I bought one and can play it too
Recommended equipment:
It depends on your funds. Electric guitars and basses are relatively expensive
Starting up
China-made SQUIER guitar (around 800, slightly different in different places). This guitar also has different models, but there is no practical significance in insisting on this. If you want to buy it, just choose the model. , others have no effect, so I won’t list the specific models
Effect G1 (around 500) or G2 (around 600) or RP50 (500)
Speaker FENDER 25R or The price of LANEY 20R is between 500 and 700. One is 25W and the other is 20W. It is enough for practicing at home and performing in small places such as classrooms. If the band is rehearsing, it will definitely not be enough because the drum sound is loud. I can't hear the guitar sound at all. These two brands that require at least 60W power have speakers with around 60W. If the price is twice as high, consider it yourself. If you want to play in a band in the future, just go ahead and buy a 60W one.
Slightly lower price
Don’t change the effector or speakers, just change the guitar
CORT X-6 (1600 yuan, made in Indonesia and Korea, no difference) p>
SQUIER (2000 yuan) made in Indonesia, this one has much more options to choose from. It depends on your preference, and it seems that there is not much difference in sound. For girls, I just got it this year. The Indonesian-made SQUIER, signed by Avril Lavigne, looks good and has good sound. I think this one is more suitable
Mid-range
Korean-made EPIPHONE (price 2800-- 5,000), it depends on which model you like. Each piano and each brand has its own characteristics, and everyone has different tastes, so it cannot be balanced for everyone. There is no piano that has all the advantages.
The price of Korean-made IBANEZ is the same as above, but this one is more suitable for playing SOLO, that is, guitar solo, and heavy metal.
LTD has the same price
In general, everyone does not recommend buying it. For a piano under 1,000 yuan, at least it should be a CORT X-6 or an Indonesian SQUIER. Don’t listen to others who say you should buy something for a few hundred yuan and practice it first, and then change it to a better one later. This will often discourage you from practicing. It's a rotten piano. I want to smash it every time I play it. There is no fun in playing the piano at all.
