BASS GUITAR????????????????
WHAT KIND OF BASS GUITAR SHOULD A BEGINNER GET IF HE WANTS TO PLAY BEATLES MUSIC?
AND ONE THATS NOT SO EXPENSIVE
Ah The Beatles.
Well Beatles bass is pretty no fuss for sound. Paul never did anything funky with the sound of his bass just a nice, warm rumble. So I wouldn't worry too much about getting one that fits the Beatles sound, just don't get what's called a "precision" bass (this has a crisp, popping tone) and don't get anything that looks like it belongs in a heavy metal band. (you'll know 'em when you see 'em)
As a beginner, you don't wanna put in a ton of money into your first bass. If I only told you two things it would be, one, make sure it's a "jazz" style bass and two, pick something that feels comfortable when you hold it and sounds good to you.
BUT, that would be only if I could say two things
Fender basses are kind of the granddaddy of bass guitars, but I've never been a huge fan. They're very big and unwieldy and I've never thought their tone was EXCEPTIONALLY good considering the price tag and the hype that goes with them.
If you do like the Fender style, though, go for a Squire. It's the cheaper offshoot of Fender and sounds pretty good. I've found Squires to be less awkward than big, clunky Fender basses sometimes, too.
Ibanez makes fantastic basses for any experience level. They've also got plenty of cheaper options. Ibanez's are playable and sound great.
Gibson basses cost a fortune and they're not my favorite basses (they are fantastic guitars but that's another story), but Epiphone is the cheap version of Gibson and that's what I own. It's an Epiphone EB-0 and it's held up well. It doesn't have a lot versatility but it's suited me fine. For a little extra money, the EB-3 lets you play with the tone more.
There's several other decent brands but I really think Ibanez is the hand down best. I plan to buy one in the future. If you see a great deal on a Shecter or a Dean take a look at it, but keep Ibanez on the brain. And always remember my two big guidelines.
Oh, and look out for short-scale basses, too. Short-scale means the neck is about 29-31 inches instead of 34-35. It sounds just as good and it's a lot more manageable. But if you're a strong person or you like the feel of normal ones, than don't hesitate to look at them, just definitely keep short-scales in mind because you'll learn more easily on them.
Happy playing!
