Re: I need to know how to tune a bass guitar....

Posted by Dave on Thu, 12/14/2006 - 17:10.

Turn the tuning pegs on the end of the neck to tighten or loosen the string (tighten for a higher sound loosen for a lower sound). Your strings from low to high should be tuned: E-A-D-G. Once you've tuned your lowest string (use a tuner, a piano or another instrument as reference) tune the next string 'till it sounds like the note on the fifth fret of your lowest string, next you tune your D-string 'till it sounds the same as the note on the 5th fret of your A-string and finally tune your G-string 'till it sounds like the note on the 5th fret of your D-string and voila. . . We have a tuned bass.

new bassist

I'm really interested in buying a bass guitar and learning how to play it. Can anybody suggest where I should start? What bass I should buy, etc.

: I'm really interested in buying a bass guitar and learning how to play it. Can anybody suggest where I should start? What bass I should buy, etc.

Hi Maurice, I started with a Fender Squire Jazz Bass and a small practice amp 10 years ago, Just try a bass you can afford and if it feels right it will be fine for starters. Try and get some live practice with a keybord player or another musician its the best way to learn. I would recomend learning scales I didnt at first I thought it would be really boring however, it really improves your playing and is much easier than I first thought. There are loads of sites on the internet that give free lessons. All the best and persevere, it is a great instrument and very rewarding when you are playing in a band. John

Squires are completely Gay to begin with, but definately go with the humbucker and single coil pickups, you get more of a nice growly tone with more high end from the sinlge coil, and more full, deep low end with the humbucker. You can mix and match till it doesnt suck....
