Electric and acoustic basses play a major role in bands from rock and metal to blues and country. Although basses look similar to a guitar, they have their own distinctive sound and personality, making them an instrument of choice for musicians all over the world. These axes come in practically every color of the rainbow; however many players veer towards the classic, subtle look of a natural bass to showcase their personal style on stage. This section is home to hundreds of natural-hue basses from dozens of reputable brands like Fender, Ibanez, Schecter, Luna and many more. Whether you're searching for a solid beginner-level bass or a top-of-the-line show-stopper, you should be able to find it here.
Basses help to establish the rhythm of the music and come in a variety of fretted or fretless models, with 4-string being the most common. 5 and 6-string options are available for more proficient players and you'll find plenty of those here too. If you're in the market for a reliable intermediate model or are looking to add to your existing collection of bass axes, take a look at the Ibanez SR650 4-String Electric Bass Guitar, made with the hard-working musician in mind. An ash body offers a bright, articulate tone and long sustain, while Nordstrand CND passive pickups easily punch through any mix.
Or perhaps you've always dreamed of hitting the stage with a genuine Fender - and who could blame you? If so, feast your eyes on the top-rated Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V 5-String Electric Bass, with a vintage-inspired body mixed with a dash of modern features. Made from alder hardwood for clear tone and lasting sustain, this beauty also has a steel plate with brass saddles for that classic Fender sound.
Another popular instrument choice is the acoustic-electric bass, especially in bands that feature other acoustic instruments. Not just for folk or bluegrass music, acoustic basses make their presences known in a variety of settings. If this is where you interests lie, take a gander at the best-selling Luna Muse Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar, a terrific beginner or intermediate choice with a built-in preamp, Celtic knotwork and rosewood inlays.
If you have a passion for making music, it makes sense to think about all your options before making a decision on your new natural bass. Electric or acoustic, fretted or fretless, 4 string or 5-6 string; there's a lot to consider. Bass guitars are a fun, popular instrument and after spending some time looking through the choices and reading customer reviews, you should have a better understanding of why.
