There Are Enough Guitarists — Pick Up One of These Bass Guitars Instead (via spy_dot)
While guitarists, drummers, and singers seek stardom, the bassist is content to simply hold down the rhythm section. Watch any performance by The Who from the ’60s. While Pete Townshend is smashing his guitar and Keith Moon is kicking over his drum kit, John Entwistle is peacefully playing along to the cacophonous noise of his bandmates destroying their equipment. Sure, the guitarist will party with you all night, but the bassist will make sure you get home safe.
The glamour associated with guitars and drums draws a lot of talent to those instruments. That means that good bassists can be scarce. To put it in blunt economic terms, it’s a seller’s market if you play bass. Don’t be surprised if you have to start turning down offers to join bands. If you’re looking to get into playing bass guitar, we’ve rounded up a few choices that are great for beginners. If what’s turned you off from trying bass is the length of the neck, we’ve included some short scale bass guitars as well.Bass guitar necks are even longer than guitar necks, which can be a challenge for those with smaller hands or shorter arms. A short scale bass guitar, like this one from Ibanez, allows you to play bass without too much hand discomfort.
